North Carolina/USA – Honeywell has recently announced that its modular Ecofining process technology, specialized pumps, compressors, and integrated control and safety systems will help drive sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and renewable diesel production for Acelen Renewables' greenfield site in Bahia, Brazil.

With SAF demand projected to increase to nearly 500,000 barrels per day over the next decade, refiners are looking for ways to scale production quickly and efficiently. Honeywell's modular delivery model shortens construction time and lowers costs, allowing SAF production faster than traditional methods.

"Brazil is set to produce the fuel of the future through a project that is sustainable—economically, socially, and environmentally," said Marcelo Cordaro, COO of Acelen Renewables. "The Bahia facility project supports biodiversity and fosters an economy based on sustainability. Honeywell's process technology and automation expertise will help maximize the production of lower-emission fuels at our facility, supporting the growing global demand for renewable fuels."

The Honeywell UOP Ecofining process, developed with Eni, efficiently converts waste fats, oils, and greases into renewable diesel and SAF that can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 80 % when blended with conventional jet fuel.

"Honeywell's low-carbon process technologies are enabling companies like Acelen to address the growing demand for renewable fuels by using a variety of feedstocks," said Ken West, president and CEO of Honeywell Process Technology. "Technology and integrated automation play a pivotal role in reducing the cost of renewable fuels, which is essential for broad adoption. Advances in Honeywell's technology have reduced the cost to produce SAF and the use of novel, low-cost feedstocks will help further reduce production costs."
