Honeywell UOP and Johnson Matthey be a part of forces to chop prices and enhance deployment of sustainable fuels
- Johnson Matthey and Honeywell are combining experience to supply a complete end-to-end answer to provide fuels from all kinds of feedstocks.
- The brand new partnership builds on an current partnership in low carbon (CCS-enabled) hydrogen.
Johnson Matthey (JM) and Honeywell UOP, two international leaders in sustainable applied sciences, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to supply an end-to-end answer for companies creating various fuels from a variety of feedstocks together with municipal stable waste, residual biomass, biogas, and CO₂ (captured and renewable).
The partnership brings collectively JM’s main syngas options and Honeywell UOP’s market-leading experience in gas upgrading applied sciences. By bringing collectively the 2 applied sciences, Honeywell and JM anticipate to drive down working prices and speed up the deployment of viable initiatives producing fuels through Fischer-Tropsch (FT) or methanol routes.
The FT route will mix JM and bp’s co-developed FT CANS™ expertise, with Honeywell’s FT Unicracking™ expertise refining the product to a “drop-in” sustainable aviation gas (SAF) that, as soon as blended, complies with strict aviation business requirements. The methanol route will carry collectively Honeywell UOP eFiningTM expertise & JM’s methanol applied sciences, together with eMERALDTM e-methanol expertise to supply an end-to-end answer for methanol to jet.
Alberto Giovanzana, Managing Director – Catalyst Applied sciences at Johnson Matthey, mentioned:
JM and Honeywell each have a powerful track-record of fixing the world’s emission and power challenges, and we’ve proven clients the worth of bringing collectively our applied sciences for his or her sustainable gas initiatives. Consolidating our choices right into a one-stop answer helps scale back undertaking prices and speed up implementation.
JM and Honeywell have a powerful and rising pipeline of initiatives. The joint providing has already been chosen for DG Fuels’ proposed FT CANS SAF plant in Louisiana, USA, which has a deliberate capability of 600,000 metric tonnes per yr. JM and Honeywell have additionally proven that by integrating JM’s eMERALD™ and Honeywell UOP eFining™ applied sciences, extra SAF manufacturing value over $200m might be delivered over the lifetime of a typical CO₂-to-methanol SAF plant[1].
Kelly Seibert, Vice President & Normal Supervisor at Honeywell UOP mentioned:
As demand for SAF continues to develop, the aviation business is challenged by restricted provides of conventional SAF feedstocks resembling vegetable oils, animal fat, and waste oils.
“Our work with JM will broaden the feedstock choices out there within the business to sources which are extra plentiful, like waste bio-mass and municipal stable waste, finally serving to enhance our clients’ potential to provide SAF.”
This MoU builds on JM and Honeywell UOP’s current partnership in CCS-enabled hydrogen – which brings collectively JM’s LCH™ expertise and Honeywell’s main carbon seize expertise to:
- produce low carbon depth hydrogen at scale
- and combine Honeywell UOP’s applied sciences into JM’s CLEANPACE™ providing to decarbonise current synthesis (syngas) fuel vegetation.
Barry Glickman, Normal Supervisor of Honeywell Sustainable Know-how Options mentioned:
At Honeywell, we imagine that collaboration is vital to driving innovation within the power transition. By working intently with JM, we’re unlocking new alternatives for our clients to decarbonize operations and create a extra sustainable future.
[1] SAF value financial savings are primarily based on a 4000tpa SAF manufacturing at a SAF value of 2071 USD/Ton utilizing JM and Honeywell’s built-in supply compared with JM and Honeywell’s earlier unintegrated providing. Calculations are primarily based on a typical plant lifetime of 25 years.
