Axens starts up SAF unit

This unit is a revamp of existing hydroprocessing assets in which a simple two-stages scheme has been implemented. Combined with a catalyst solution including Axens 700 series, this Vegan^® unit allows full flexibility to produce either 100% renewable diesel or 100% SAF, permitting to answer the challenging market demand. Since its kick-off earlier in 2025, the unit has demonstrated to operate very stably with positive performance.

Vegan process is able to prevent co-production of renewable diesel if not desired and focus on maximising SAF. The 100% SAF mode is obtained without the need of an additional hydrocracking stage.
