Topsoe chosen as technology partner for SAF and renewable diesel project

NXTClean Fuels will utilise Topsoe’s HydroFlex^™, SynCOR^™ and H2bridge^™ technologies and catalyst to produce up to 50 000 bpd of renewable diesel and SAF. Subject to a final investment decision, this facility when operational will be the largest greenfield SAF project in the US and is expected to be operational by 2029.

Henrik Rasmussen, Managing Director of Topsoe Americas, said: “Topsoe’s technology and solutions are enabling the growth of SAF in the US while helping to reduce emissions within American aviation. This exciting project will significantly increase the production of SAF in the US and will be the largest greenfield SAF project in the country. We’re thrilled that NXTClean Fuels has chosen our technology for this milestone project and we’re excited to see the project become operational.”

Christopher Efird, CEO and Chairperson of NXTClean Fuels said: “The Topsoe technologies and catalysts dramatically reduce the carbon intensity of our fuels, making our products among the cleanest SAF and renewable diesel supplies in the world.”

By integrating Topsoe’s technologies, the NXTClean Fuels facility at Port Westward expects to recycle biogenic propane and off-gas to create hydrogen with lower carbon intensity, while also producing sufficient excess low-carbon hydrogen to be able to displace fossil fuel used for refinery heat. Taken together, these innovations will significantly reduce the carbon intensity of the renewable diesel and SAF that the facility will produce.
