The project is based on the company’s recent operational success
at industrial demonstration scale. According to Ineratec, the new
facilities will become the largest production plant for paraffinic
synthetic fuels in the world. The plant’s output is estimated to
reach up to 2,500 tons per year, starting as early as 2023. The
catalyst provided by Sasol Chemicals will make a significant
contribution to produce high amounts of the target products, which
is largely designated for refinement into Sustainable Aviation
Fuels. “Synthetic fuels are a cornerstone in the global challenge
to reach our climate goals,” said Ineratec co-founder and General
Manager, Philipp Engelkamp. “Our goal is to quickly build up
production capacities. Together with our partners, we want to over
succeed the required quota for SAF in 2030.” Ineratec plans to
develop the technology on a global scale and will invest over 30
million Euros in this first plant alone. The German Government also
strongly supports the project and provides funding of around 6
million euros within a funding program of the Federal Ministry for
the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer
Protection.
“We are in the fortunate position to aid our partners in pushing
the envelope when it comes to synthetic fuels,” Dr. Dirk Schär,
Manager Technical Marketing at Sasol Chemicals, has commented.
“Sasol’s high-grade products are an integral part of many chemical
processes. By making commitments such as this one, we are assisting
others to realise what we ourselves have chosen as our mission for
Sasol Chemicals: Innovating for a better world!”
Sasol continuously invests into research and development to
further improve its products and is also a leading partner of
CARE-O-SENE project, a government-supported consortium of German
and South-African organisations that aims to improve the
performance of catalysts in the FT-synthesis to accelerate the
large-scale production of sustainable aviation fuels. Ineratec and
Sasol also partners in the CARE-O-SENE project.
