en.Wedoany.com Reported - South Africa's Phelan Green Sustainable Aviation Fuel Project has obtained a technology license from Johnson Matthey Catalyst Technologies. Located in Saldanha Bay, Western Cape Province, this South African sustainable aviation fuel project is scheduled to enter the construction phase by the end of 2026. It is part of the Phelan Green Hydrogen Project, with an overall valuation of approximately ZAR 47 billion.
In its first phase, the South African sustainable aviation fuel project plans to produce approximately 35,000 tons of electro-synthetic sustainable aviation fuel annually, targeting the EU and UK markets. Upon full completion, the annual production capacity is expected to reach 140,000 tons. Johnson Matthey will provide HyCOgen technology for the project, converting carbon dioxide and electrolytic hydrogen into carbon monoxide, which is then synthesized with hydrogen into syngas, and further processed into synthetic crude oil using FT CANS technology.
With the technology license and engineering agreements in place, the South African sustainable aviation fuel project has entered the process technology system determination phase. Subsequent construction will drive demand in areas such as electrolytic hydrogen production, carbon dioxide utilization, syngas preparation, catalysts, reactors, and fuel refining, while also providing new engineering project support for South Africa's green fuel industry.
