Because the world seeks sustainable options to conventional fuels, renewable diesel and SAF manufacturing have taken heart stage. By 2030, vegetable oils are projected to account for over 40 p.c of world feedstock utilized in renewable diesel and SAF manufacturing. Nevertheless, producers have lengthy grappled with challenges associated to feedstock availability, pricing fluctuations, and the ever-increasing market demand.
To handle these urgent points, Novozymes has leveraged its in depth expertise in enzymatic degumming, which has resulted in Quara LowP, an progressive resolution that offers clients flexibility to course of blended feedstocks with out negatively impacting their backside line.
“This innovation is a testomony to our dedication to sustainable options for the renewable diesel and SAF trade. Quara LowP affords producers the flexibleness to course of blends of feedstocks leading to elevated effectivity, diminished working prices, and lowered environmental influence. It’s a nice contribution to the trade and a mirrored image of Novozymes’ dedication to rethinking tomorrow,” mentioned Hans Ole Klingenberg, VP of selling, Agriculture & Industrial Biosolutions at Novozymes.
A sustainable resolution for a rising demand
Quara LowP facilitates the environment friendly processing of HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) and HEFA (Hydroprocessed Esters and Fatty Acids) feedstocks. By pretreating these feedstocks with Quara LowP, producers can obtain greater yields and considerably decrease operational prices, all whereas lowering the environmental footprint of their operations.
This innovation holds profound significance for the HVO and SAF trade:
• Elevated effectivity: HVO/HEFA feedstock producers now have a method to course of blends of vegetable oils with different lipid feedstocks with out compromising yield or incurring further working prices. The present apply of overusing bleaching earth/bleaching clay to handle contaminants in vegetable oils when mixing with waste oils is a factor of the previous. Quara LowP affords a extra environment friendly and cost-effective resolution.
• Financial advantages: With Quara LowP, producers can get pleasure from elevated yields and decrease working prices, overcoming course of inefficiencies.
• Environmental influence: The trade can profit from a greener operation, with diminished waste dealing with hazards and decrease water consumption, aligning with the worldwide sustainability targets.
As Novozymes ventures into the renewable diesel/SAF trade, which is projected to develop at a compound annual development price (CAGR) of 12 p.c from 2023 to 2027, Quara LowP is about to play a pivotal position in driving the trade’s development, sustainability, and effectivity.
