Honeywell introduced immediately that CVR Renewables CVL LLC, a subsidiary of CVR Power Inc., will make the most of Honeywell’s Ecofining expertise in its analysis of a possible undertaking to supply biofuels from feedstocks equivalent to distillers corn oil, at its facility in Coffeyville, Kansas or within the surrounding space. The potential new Ecofining plant is being designed to transform roughly 30,000 barrels per day of waste feeds/feedstocks to sustainable aviation gasoline (SAF), renewable diesel and different merchandise.
Offered the undertaking receives approval, CVR Renewables ought to be capable of understand a capital environment friendly and high-yield resolution, preferrred for producing biofuels from 100% renewable feedstocks. SAF produced with Honeywell’s Ecofining expertise is a drop-in alternative gasoline that requires no adjustments to plane expertise or gasoline infrastructure. SAF can be utilized in blends of as much as 50 % SAF with the rest being typical (fossil-based) jet gasoline. Honeywell’s Ecofining course of is a confirmed expertise that has been used around the globe for years to supply SAF that may cut back greenhouse fuel (GHG) emissions as much as 80 % when in comparison with the emissions from fossil fuels.
“Renewable fuels are in excessive demand, and Honeywell’s Ecofining expertise might help CVR Renewables maximize SAF manufacturing for business aviation use,” stated Barry Glickman, vp, basic supervisor, Honeywell Sustainable Expertise Options. “The Ecofining course of was developed to ship industry-leading efficiency utilizing a variety of feedstocks. This expertise is ready-now and has already been chosen to be used in additional than 40 crops globally.”
“We’re enthusiastic about Honeywell’s Ecofining expertise and the potential function it may play in our efforts to decarbonize our enterprise,” stated Mike Wright, govt vp and chief working officer of CVR Power.
Honeywell’s Ecofining course of, developed in collaboration with Eni SpA, can be utilized to transform waste plant-based oils, animal fat and different waste feedstocks to renewable diesel and SAF. It has been used to supply SAF commercially since 2016. Honeywell now gives options throughout a spread of feedstocks to fulfill the quickly rising demand for renewable fuels. Along with the Ecofining™ course of, Honeywell’s renewable fuels portfolio consists of the UOP Ethanol to Jet course of and the just lately introduced Honeywell UOP eFining course of, which converts inexperienced hydrogen and carbon dioxide-derived methanol into eFuels.
Honeywell just lately dedicated to realize carbon neutrality in its operations and services by 2035. This dedication builds on the corporate’s observe file of sharply lowering the greenhouse fuel depth of its operations and services in addition to its decades-long historical past of innovation to assist its clients meet their environmental and social targets. About 60 % of Honeywell’s 2022 new product introduction analysis and improvement funding was directed towards ESG-oriented outcomes for patrons.
