HOUSTON, Aug. 6, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- KBR (NYSE: KBR) announced today that Avina Clean
Hydrogen Inc. has selected the sustainable aviation fuel
technology, PureSAF℠, for its project in the US. Developed by
Swedish Biofuels, PureSAF technology is exclusively licensed by KBR
worldwide.
Under the terms of the contract, KBR will provide the technology
licensing, proprietary engineering design, and front-end
engineering design (FEED) for Avina's facility to produce 120
million gallons of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) per year.
"PureSAF is an innovative, advanced technology that produces jet
fuel that is fully fungible with
conventional jet fuel, from a variety of feedstocks at low cost and
on an industrial scale," said Angelica
Hull, Managing Director of Swedish Biofuels. "In addition to
processing ethanol, our technology can also convert mixed alcohols,
carbon dioxide, and synthesis gas to SAF, creating pathways for
utilizing captured carbon for a cleaner, more sustainable
future."
"We are excited to expand our collaboration with Avina as it
ventures into the SAF market," said Jay
Ibrahim, KBR President, Sustainable Technology Solutions.
"In 2023, KBR's K-GreeN® technology was selected by
Avina for its green ammonia project in the US. Avina's leadership
in energy transition projects aligns with KBR's commitment to
implementing decarbonization technologies to advance ESG
objectives. Along with Swedish Biofuels, we look forward to helping
Avina diversify into other high-potential sustainable growth
sectors."
"We are delighted to select the innovative aviation fuel
technology offered by KBR for our ethanol-to-sustainable jet fuel
project in Illinois," said
Vishal Shah, Chief Executive Officer
of Avina Clean Hydrogen. "PureSAF's project-economic advantages,
low carbon intensity, and environmental benefits make it an ideal
choice compared to other technologies."
KBR remains at the forefront of pioneering decarbonization
initiatives, through continuous process innovation and harnessing
low-carbon technologies to reduce emissions effectively. In 2024,
KBR is celebrating 100 years of offering clean fuel solutions.
