en.Wedoany.com Reported - Honeywell will supply modular Ecofining™ process technology, specialized pumps, compressors, and integrated control and safety systems for Acelen Renewables' new plant in Bahia, Brazil, enabling the production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and renewable diesel.

The industry expects daily SAF demand to approach 500,000 barrels over the next decade, requiring refiners to scale up capacity quickly and efficiently. Honeywell's modular delivery model shortens construction timelines and reduces capital costs, allowing SAF production to come online earlier than with traditional approaches.

Marcelo Cordaro, Chief Operating Officer of Acelen Renewables, stated that the Bahia plant project balances economic, social, and environmental sustainability, leveraging Honeywell's process technology and automation expertise to maximize low-emission fuel production in response to the global surge in demand for renewable fuels.

Ken West, President and Chief Executive Officer of Honeywell Process Technologies, noted that low-carbon process technologies enable companies like Acelen to expand renewable fuel supply using diverse feedstocks; technology and integrated automation are key to reducing renewable fuel costs, and the introduction of new, low-cost feedstocks is expected to further lower production costs.

Honeywell UOP's Ecofining™ process, co-developed with Eni SpA, efficiently converts waste fats, oils, and greases into renewable diesel and SAF. When blended with conventional aviation fuel, this SAF can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 80%.
