Chevron Lummus and Neste advance renewable fuels partnership

Through close collaboration at CLG's R&D facility in the US, Neste and CLG have demonstrated proof of concept for converting lignocellulosic waste into renewable fuels, with highly promising initial results.

"Our collaboration and initial success demonstrate the complementary strengths of Neste and CLG to create a powerful, scalable platform to produce renewable fuel from lignocellulosic raw material," said Rajesh Samarth, CEO of Chevron Lummus Global. "By advancing the hydro-processing of diverse feedstocks, we're not only expanding the possibilities for renewable fuels but also setting a new benchmark for innovation in sustainable energy."

The partnership combines CLG's experience and proven track record in developing and licensing refining technologies with Neste's expertise and global leadership in renewable fuels. With a proof of concept, the partners are now advancing to the next phase — further validating the process for commercial scale deployment and unlocking the full potential of this abundant, underutilised feedstock.

"Lignocellulosic waste and residues can make an important contribution as a new and scalable raw material pool for renewable fuels," added Lars Peter Lindfors, Senior Vice President of Technology and Innovation at Neste. "The technology development with CLG has progressed well and we are very encouraged by the initial results. Unlocking the potential of these promising raw materials would allow us to meet the growing demand of renewable fuels in the long-term and contribute to ambitious greenhouse gas emission reduction targets."
