Syzygy Plasmonics to use Honeywell technology for SAF production

Published by , Editorial Assistant
Hydrocarbon Engineering,


Honeywell has announced that Syzygy Plasmonics, a provider of electrified biogas-to-SAF technology, will use Honeywell UOP Fischer-Tropsch (FT) UnicrackingTM technology to make sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) from dairy waste and renewable energy at an electrified biogas-to-SAF facility.

Syzygy’s modular commercial plant, NovaSAF-1, located in Duranzo, Uruguay, is expected to produce more than 350 000 gal./yr of SAF. The NovaSAFTM platform can be replicated at over 50 000 biogas sites globally, helping scale affordable SAF production of abundant feedstock.

“Our NovaSAF platform helps meet the growing demand for SAF by achieving both high volumes and low price points,” said Trevor Best, CEO and Co-Founder of Syzygy Plasmonics. “With Honeywell’s hydrocracking technology, we can accelerate the development of our modular NovaSAF-1 plant, which will serve as a repeatable, scalable model for the future. This plant will show the world how profitable it can be to produce SAF from biogas waste streams combined with renewable energy.”

With traditional feedstocks in short supply, alternative production methods are important to produce renewable fuels. By 2030, the International Energy Agency predicts waste and non-food crop-based biofuels will supply over 40% of biofuel demand.

Rajesh Gattupalli, President of Honeywell UOP, commented: “Syzygy’s modular construction paired with our technology demonstrates how biogas-to-SAF facilities can become more achievable and help improve waste-to-clean-energy conversion. The combination helps alleviate two major challenges with SAF production and scale – cost and feedstock diversity.”
