Axens has announced that it has signed an agreement with Air Liquide to acquire its methanol to olefins technology portfolio, including the Lurgi Methanol-to-Propylene (MTP)™.
This addition expands Axens’ sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) portfolio through Axens’ Jetanol® process chain, offering its customers an end-to-end solution for SAF production through the Methanol to Jet pathway (MTJ).
Aiming to complete SAF production pathways offering, Axens has reached an agreement with Air Liquide to acquire its Lurgi methanol to olefins portfolio, including the Lurgi MTP technology. This technology portfolio will enable the conversion of methanol into olefins, that can then be further processed into key products, including SAF. Within this portfolio, MTP is a well-established and industrially proven technology, with a strong track record of reliable operation at commercial scale.
Axens’ Jetanol suite currently offers SAF production technologies based on ethanol. The incorporation of Lurgi methanol to olefins technology portfolio into Axens offering expands Axens' SAF solutions to include a MTJ pathway, broadening feedstock flexibility and complementing existing solutions.
