Cleantech firm Topsoe will help to get a Chinese clean fuels project off the ground by providing essential technology needed to produce sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) and renewable diesel. Located in Guangxi, the project is run by Guangxi Free Trade Zone Chuangui Lingang New Energy Co., Ltd (Chuangui New Energy) and aims to process 300,000 tonnes of feedstock (used cooking oil) into SAF and clean diesel per year after December 2026. The partners intend to achieve this by using Topsoe’s HydroFlex technology and other equipment and catalysts, a move that could avoid the emission of 800,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) equivalent each year. Topsoe’s Chief Commercial Officer Elena Scaltritti see’s the partnership as an ‘important milestone’ for the growth of the company’s SAF mission in China. This was echoed by Chuangui New Energy’s Chairman… Read More »Topsoe to supply tech for China clean fuel project | Decarbonisation
