NEXTCHEM (MAIRE) awarded a feasibility study for a Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) project in Indonesia based on its proprietary NX PTU™ and NX SAF™ Bio technologies.
MAIRE (MAIRE.MI) announces that NEXTCHEM (Sustainable Technology Solutions) has been awarded a feasibility study along with PT Tripatra Engineers and Constructors for a Sustainable Aviation Fuel (“SAF”) project located in Sei Mangkei, Indonesia.
The agreement includes the joint development of a small-scale modular SAF plant. The facility will be fed by regionally sourced feedstock, such as used cooking oil and palm oil mill effluent, with a production capacity of 60,000 tons per year.
The first step of the collaboration envisages a feasibility study to evaluate the optimal design and configuration for the plant, based on NEXTCHEM’s proprietary technologies.
NEXTCHEM offers a fully integrated package which includes the NX PTU™[1] technology, the hydrogen production unit, and the NX SAFTM Bio technology, an hydrotreated esters and fatty acids (HEFA)[2] proprietary process for a complete and smooth project deployment for SAF production. This process uses 2nd generation vegetable oils and residual fats, which are pre-treated through the NX PTU™ technology. The purified feedstock is then refined into SAF using hydrogen through NX SAFTM BIO technology, which allows to produce an ultra-low carbon SAF able to reduce aviation emissions by up to 95% compared with the use of fossil fuels[3]. The high-level of standardization, coupled with a modular and compact design of the technology, allows a fast project execution and makes it ideal for small-scale plants in any geographies.
Alessandro Bernini, MAIRE CEO, commented:
This agreement is a testament of our commitment to leading the energy transition with state-of-the-art technologies and end-to-end solutions.
“MAIRE is effectively able to decarbonize high-impact sectors such as aviation by leveraging on its integrated approach ranging from project development to full execution capabilities.”
