en.Wedoany.com Reported - Petrobras recently announced that it will adopt Honeywell UOP's Ethanol-to-Jet (EtJ) process technology for its new Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) project at the REPLAN refinery in São Paulo, Brazil. The project plans to produce up to 10,000 barrels of SAF per day, becoming Latin America's first large-scale ethanol-to-jet fuel initiative, aiming to utilize abundant local agricultural by-products to produce low-carbon fuel.

Ken West, President and CEO of Honeywell Process Technologies, said, "Honeywell has a long history of providing innovative process technologies and expertise to reduce the cost of producing renewable fuels and help customers leverage new feedstock options. Through Honeywell's Ethanol-to-Jet process technology, Petrobras can utilize abundant agricultural by-products to produce fuel, offering a low-carbon energy solution that helps meet global demand."

As demand for sustainable aviation fuel is expected to grow significantly, refineries are turning to reliable technological solutions to accelerate production. José Fernandes, President of Honeywell Latin America, noted, "Brazil has the scale, feedstocks, and technology partners to become a global powerhouse in sustainable aviation fuel. This project is a significant milestone for the region, demonstrating how strategic collaboration can accelerate Brazil's role in the energy transition."

Petrobras and Honeywell have a long-standing collaboration involving refining technology, natural gas processing, and automation systems. This Ethanol-to-Jet project further solidifies their partnership in the low-carbon energy sector.
