Emerging renewable fuels leader will implement
advanced technologies to help meet global demand for
sustainable aviation and diesel fuels
ST.
LOUIS, Nov. 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Emerson
(NYSE: EMR), a leader in industrial software and technology, has
been chosen by DG Fuels to provide comprehensive automation and
project engineering to help transportation sector decarbonization
efforts through production of advanced biofuels.
To help address the more than 25% of global emissions caused by
transportation, DG Fuels' mission is to provide "drop in"
cellulosic sustainable aviation fuels at scale, then expand into
renewable or green diesel fuels. Its advanced conversion process
creates fuels that can be used in existing aviation and vehicle
engines, achieving three times greater yield from biomass
feedstock when compared to traditional biofuels production
processes.
"Technology and innovation are the foundation of bringing
our innovative fuels conversion process to scale," said
Michael Darcy, DG Fuels CEO.
"Partnering with Emerson for its project expertise and automation
portfolio gives us confidence in achieving our bold vision of being
a global leader in synthetic jet and diesel fuel production."
Chosen for its deep automation project engineering and
execution, backed by the industry's most comprehensive automation
portfolio, Emerson will provide DG Fuels with a suite of advanced
sensing, control, systems, equipment monitoring and production
optimization technologies and software that enable safe, reliable
and sustainable production.
"Sustainable aviation fuel is a critical step in the energy
transition of the transportation sector," said Mike Train, Emerson's chief sustainability
officer. "Meaningful progress will require innovative solutions
across multiple sources of energy. We look forward to supporting DG
Fuels' mission of creating high-yield, high-quality biomass-derived
fuels at scale."
DG Fuels' previously announced agreements with aviation leaders
for sustainable aviation fuels development and supply include Air
France KLM, Delta, Airbus and GE Aviation.
