Technip Energies on Oct. 5 introduced it has been awarded engineering, procurement providers and development administration (EPsCm) contracts by Galp for a sustainable aviation gas (SAF), renewable diesel and inexperienced hydrogen venture beneath growth in Portugal.
Portugal-based power firm Galp SGPS S.A. and Japan-based Mitsui & Co. Ltd. in September introduced plans to kind a three way partnership (JV) to develop renewable diesel and SAF capability at Galp’s present refinery in Sines, Portugal.
The brand new biorefinery unit can have the capability to provide 270,000 tons per yr of renewable diesel and SAF from waste residue feedstocks, comparable to used cooking oil and animal fat. In accordance with Mitsui, the biorefinery constructed on the Sines website will likely be able to switching between renewable diesel and SAF modes.
Along side the JV announcement, Galp additionally introduced plans to maneuver ahead with a proposed venture to assemble a 100 megawatt (MW) electrolysis plant on the Sines refinery to provide as much as 15,000 metric tons per yr of renewable hydrogen.
Technip Energies has been awarded EPsCm contracts for each the renewable gas and inexperienced hydrogen tasks. The corporate mentioned it would work in consortium with Technoedif Engenharia, an engineering agency in Portugal, on the renewable fuels venture. That venture is anticipated to permit Galp to keep away from 800,000 metric tons per yr of greenhouse gasoline (GHG) emissions. Plug Energy will provide proton trade membrane (PEM) electrolyzers for the inexperienced hydrogen unit, which is anticipated to switch 20 % of the prevailing gray hydrogen consumption on the Sines refinery and allow 110,000 metric tons per yr of GHG emissions reductions.
“The Remaining Funding Determination for these two vital tasks is a significant step taken by Galp to remodel the refining business in Portugal,” mentioned Marco Villa, chief working officer of Technip Energies. “Technip Energies, who has been supporting Galp technique for the reason that early phases of these two tasks, is now delighted to be chosen as a associate for the execution section of each.
