Denmark-based Topsoe has been selected to supply technology and services for a large-scale sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) facility in Zhoushan City, China.
The plant, backed by Zhejiang Jianglan Bio-Energy, is expected to produce 300,000 tonnes of SAF annually from December 2026, initially targeting the European market.
The SAF will be produced using Topsoe’s HydroFlex process technology, which converts renewable feedstocks such as used cooking oil and animal fats into drop-in fuels that meet global jet fuel specifications.
Topsoe will also supply specialised catalysts that accelerate the chemical reactions needed to remove impurities like oxygen, sulphur, and nitrogen from the feedstocks and rearrange the molecules into hydrocarbons suitable for fuel.
