Hydrocarbon Engineering,

Axens has announced a commercial collaboration with XCF Global, Inc. aimed at supporting the market deployment of Vegan®, Axens’ proprietary Hydroprocessed Esters and Fatty Acids (HEFA) technology.

This commercial collaboration is designed to facilitate discussions with project developers and plant owners interested in developing renewable fuels facilities, particularly in the fast-growing sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) market. Under this framework, Axens will continue to license its Vegan process worldwide directly to customers, while XCF Global may independently offer project development, construction, and operational services, drawing on its experience in developing and operating a commercial Vegan unit in the US.

The commercial collaboration agreement has an initial term of three years and is intended to support the scalable development of sustainable fuels capacity in North America and internationally.

Vegan is Axens’ HEFA-based technology for the production of SAF and renewable diesel from a wide range of renewable feedstocks. Axens is a recognised market leader in SAF production through the HEFA pathway, with extensive experience supporting projects from early development through to commercial operation.
