John Cockerill and Axens launch torrefaction technology

Published by , Editorial Assistant
Hydrocarbon Engineering,


John Cockerill and Axens launch the NesaBTF™ torrefaction technology, a pretreatment solution for the renewable fuel chain BioTfueL® process developed by BioNext, a consortium between Axens, CEA, IFP Energies Nouvelles, Avril, TotalEnergies, and ThyssenKrupp Uhde.

The BioTfueL process converts lignocellulosic biomass into fuels, such as sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).

The NesaBTF torrefaction technology leverages John Cockerill’s expertise in multiple hearth furnaces and Axens’ operational insights, enabling large scale torrefaction of residues for BioTfueL feedstock. The versatility of the technology enhances projects profitability through economies of scale. The collaboration between John Cockerill and Axens into the SAF developing market will contribute to the energy transition.
