- Following the successful completion of the process design
package announced in December
2023, NEXTCHEM has been selected to license its
proprietary technology for a SAF plant in Louisiana
- The plant, set to be operational in 2028, will
produce up to 450 million liters per year of SAF, currently
representing one of the largest initiatives globally
MILAN, June 24,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- MAIRE S.p.A. announces
that NEXTCHEM (Sustainable Technology Solutions BU), through
its subsidiary MyRechemical, leading the Waste-to-Chemical
segment, has signed a licensing contract with DG Fuels
Louisiana, LCC in relation to its proprietary NX
Circular gasification technology.
The plant, expected to be operational in 2028, will produce 450
million liters per year of SAF derived from residual biomass and a
minor part of municipal waste. MyRechemical has been selected as
technology licensor for the gasification and gas treatment units
able to process 1 million tons per year of bagasse and sugar cane
trash and pulp, representing the first step for the SAF production.
The licensing contract provides that MyRechemical will also supply
the proprietary equipment for the gasification package with an
option for applying a modular approach to minimize site
contingencies, as well as the associated technical services.
The project meets the requirements set by the U.S. Department of
Energy (DOE)'s Clean Fuels & Products Shot initiative, which
aims to decarbonize the aviation sector by industrializing SAF
production. Additionally, SAF derived from biomass or waste
resources is eligible under the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction
Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) established by the
International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) to reduce
airlines' carbon offsetting requirements.
DG Fuels Louisiana is a subsidiary of DG Fuels, a U.S. company
engaged in renewable hydrogen and biogenic based, synthetic low
emissions aviation fuel.
