Global Partnerships Foster Sustainable Aviation Fuel Production
London, UK - Johnson Matthey (JM), a leading global provider of sustainable technologies, and Honeywell UOP, a major player in this field, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to jointly develop an end-to-end solution for the production of alternative fuels from various feedstocks.
The collaboration aims to integrate JM's syngas solutions with Honeywell UOP's expertise in fuel upgrading technologies, driving down operating costs and accelerating the deployment of viable projects producing sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). The partnership will enable businesses to produce a "drop-in" SAF that meets strict aviation industry standards by combining JM and bp's co-developed FT CANS technology.
The company also plans to develop an end-to-end solution for methanol to jet using Honeywell UOP eFiningTM technology & JM's eMERALDTM e-methanol technology. This will expand the available feedstocks for SAF production, allowing companies to source materials such as waste biomass and municipal solid waste.
"The partnership with Honeywell UOP is a significant step forward in our efforts to help industries navigate the challenges of climate change," said Alberto Giovanzana, Managing Director – Catalyst Technologies at Johnson Matthey. "By consolidating our offerings into a one-stop solution, we can reduce project costs and accelerate implementation."
"Honeywell UOP's work with JM expands the available feedstock options for SAF production, enabling us to provide more sustainable solutions to our customers," Kelly Seibert, Vice President & General Manager at Honeywell UOP, stated.
The partnership builds upon their existing collaboration in CCs-enabled hydrogen, which combines JM's LCH technology and Honeywell's leading carbon capture technology.
"At Honeywell, we believe that collaboration is key to driving innovation in the energy transition," said Barry Glickman, General Manager of Honeywell Sustainable Technology Solutions. "By working closely with JM, we are unlocking new opportunities for our customers to decarbonize operations and create a more sustainable future."
