When in full operation, Topsoe’s technology will expectedly enable an annual emission avoidance of approximately 698 thousand tons of CO2e – the equivalent of avoiding the emissions from approximately two million passengers flying from Beijing to Copenhagen.

Elena Scaltritti, Chief Commercial Officer at Topsoe, said: “We’re very pleased to work with Zhejiang Jianglan on this project as scaling SAF supply is essential to decarbonize aviation. Our partnership with Zhejiang Jianglan marks another key step in building out SAF supply and at the same time support evolving energy needs globally.”

Hu Bowei, Chairman of Zhejiang Jianglan Bio-energy Technology Co., said: “Jianglan is building a closed-loop full industrial chain of ‘feedstock collection and efficient conversion for low-carbon application’ by leveraging its biomass collection and storage network. We are also integrating with the oil and gas industrial cluster in the Zhoushan area of the Zhejiang Free Trade Zone to cultivate a new growth engine for green fuels. At the same time, the Bank of China will utilize its global advantages and comprehensive services to actively support the development of the Xiaoguoju Green Petrochemical Expansion Zone, empowering the upgrade of the green energy industry. Together, all parties aim to create a world-class, domestically leading SAF production base.”
