The unit will have a total capacity of 350,000 metric tonnes per year (tpy) of biofuels, which consists of 220,000 tpy of sustainable aviation fuel and 130,000 tpy of hydrotreated vegetable oil, its chief commercial officer Jeremy Baines said at an Argus biofuels conference in Singapore.
Used cooking oil and palm oil mill effluent will be among the key feedstocks for the plant, located in Malaysia’s Johor region, he added, without elaborating where they will source the products from.
