Abstract

GreenFlexJET is an EU funded project that is developing a pre-commercial demonstration plant to produce sustainable aviation fuel from waste vegetable oil and organic solid waste biomass. The plant will demonstrate the integration of the SABR-TCR technology i.e., transesterification (TRANS), hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) and hydrocracking/isomerisation (HC) and Thermo-Catalytic Reforming (TCR®) combined with hydrogen separation through pressure swing adsorption (PSA) to produce a fully equivalent jet fuel (compliant with ASTM D7566 Standards). The project plant installed close to waste sources and product off-takers at Gloucestershire Park of Science and Technology, Berkeley (UK) will produce 1,200 tonnes of jet fuel from around 3,600 tonnes of waste vegetable oil and 3,500 tonnes of dried organic waste per year. The demonstration plant will provide a real example of how sustainable aviation biofuels can be produced economically on a large scale, whilst simultaneously addressing social and environmental sustainability.

Bibliographical note

Funding Information:
GreenFlexJET is a six-year project part funded by the European Commission through the Horizon 2020 research initiative. The project is diversifying the feedstock for SAF beyond vegetable oils and fats to bio-crude oil produced from a wide range of organic waste. The GreenFlexJET process is highly scalable and less capital-intensive than current technologies and can be integrated into existing infrastructure. It provides for a sustainable, cost-competitive aviation fuel by combining regional and local supply and demand strategies in a circular economy. As a key factor to the decarbonisation of the aviation transport sector, it contributes to the Renewable Energy Directive Targets in Europe and to the fulfilment of the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) goals.

Funding Information:
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement no. 792216.
