Honeywell and Granbio to Produce Carbon Impartial Sustainable Aviation Gasoline


Honeywell and GranBio to provide carbon impartial sustainable aviation gas.

Honeywell (Nasdaq: HON) and GranBio Applied sciences introduced that they may mix Honeywell’s ethanol to jet (ETJ) expertise with GranBio’s cellulosic ethanol AVAP® expertise to provide carbon impartial sustainable aviation gas (SAF) from biomass residues at GranBio’s forthcoming U.S. demonstration plant.

GranBio’s patented AVAP course of converts biomass, together with forest and agricultural residues, to pure low-cost, low-carbon-intensity sugars, lignin, and nanocellulose. The cellulosic sugars are transformed to each SAF, via Honeywell’s ETJ expertise, and biochemicals, via a separate course of.

Utilizing forest biomass-derived ethanol from the AVAP course of, jet gas produced from Honeywell’s ethanol to jet gas course of can scale back greenhouse gasoline (GHG) emissions to web zero on a complete lifecycle foundation, in comparison with petroleum-based jet gas1.

Bernardo Gradin, GranBio CEO mentioned:

Combining our biorefinery experience with Honeywell expertise in growing and scaling gas applied sciences will assist guarantee SAF provide targets, whereas supporting GranBio’s mission to offer built-in worth chain options all through the world for web zero SAF from biomass.

“The AVAP expertise has nice potential, relying on feedstock and plant configuration to permit carbon unfavorable SAF with present life cycle evaluation.1

“Plus, along with huge forest and agricultural residue accessible for feedstocks, there is a gigantic potential to retrofit idle pulp and paper services within the U.S., revitalizing forestry worth chains and rural manufacturing with nice social, environmental, and financial impression,” Gradin added.

Barry Glickman, vp, basic supervisor, Honeywell Sustainable Expertise Options mentioned:

GranBio’s low carbon feedstock coupled with Honeywell’s SAF experience will assist decarbonize air journey.

“Our superior ETJ course of is ready-now and builds upon Honeywell’s close to twenty years’ expertise in renewable fuels. Honeywell’s renewable fuels options, together with ETJ, incorporate built-in, modular designs, that allow producers like GranBio to construct new SAF capability greater than a yr quicker than is feasible with conventional development approaches.”

GranBio’s AVAP goals to allow worldwide web zero SAF manufacturing by using considerable, low-cost biomass feedstocks and diversification of revenue streams via value-added merchandise past SAF, offering vital price benefit as in comparison with different SAF producers.

GranBio’s subsidiary AVAPCO was chosen by the U.S. Division of Power to obtain an $80M grant to help the demonstration plant that may produce ~2 million gallons per yr of SAF upon start-up in 2026.

Honeywell now provides options throughout a variety of feedstocks to satisfy the quickly rising demand for renewable fuels, together with SAF. Along with Honeywell UOP Ecofining™, Honeywell’s renewable fuels portfolio contains ethanol to jet expertise and the not too long ago introduced Honeywell UOP eFining™, which converts inexperienced hydrogen and carbon dioxide into eFuels.

Honeywell not too long ago dedicated to attain carbon neutrality in its operations and services by 2035. This dedication builds on the corporate’s monitor file of sharply lowering the greenhouse gasoline 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 purchasers.2
