Honeywell has announced a significant partnership with bp, as the energy company has selected Honeywell’s Ecofining technology to support the production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) at five bp facilities worldwide. The installation of Honeywell UOP Ecofining technology will take place at bp sites including the Cherry Point refinery in Blaine, Washington; Rotterdam II refinery in Rotterdam, Netherlands; Lingen refinery in Lower Saxony, Germany; Castellón de la Plana refinery in Castellón, Spain; and Kwinana Oil refinery in Kwinana, Australia.
Ecofining, a proven and readily available technology, offers bp a cost-efficient solution to expand its SAF production from renewable feedstocks. By adopting Honeywell’s technology, bp aims to supply 20% of the global SAF market by 2030, supporting the aviation industry’s decarbonization efforts. SAF produced through Honeywell’s Ecofining technology meets international standards and can be used as a drop-in replacement for conventional jet fuel without the need for engine modifications. Currently, it can be blended with fossil-based jet fuel up to a 50% concentration.
