Neste fires up modified SAF refinery

Hydrocarbon Engineering,
A major Technip Energies project has come to fruition with the start of production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) by Neste at its modified refinery in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
The modification of Neste's existing renewables refinery enables the production of up to 500 000 tpy of SAF, increasing Neste’s SAF production capability to 1.5 million tpy.
This achievement is the result of a joint effort between Neste and Technip Energies that started with the development of a conceptual and feasibility design, then was consolidated with the delivery of a front-end engineering and design (FEED) stage, and finally resulted in the execution of an engineering, procurement, and construction management contract.
The project obtained a remarkable safety milestone with 100% working hours without LTI and QHSE events.
Enabling SAF production in Rotterdam is also an important milestone for Europe as it supports the implementation of the ReFuelEU Aviation Regulation and other SAF mandates, helping accelerate the energy transition and reduce emissions of the aviation industry.
