四大巨头联手成立SAF技术联盟
霍尼韦尔、庄信万丰、吉达拉能源与三星工程公司成立可持续航空燃料技术联盟
霍尼韦尔（Honeywell）、庄信万丰（Johnson Matthey）、吉达拉能源（GIDARA Energy）和三星工程建设（SAMSUNG E&A）今日宣布成立战略技术联盟，旨在推出一项突破性的端到端全球解决方案，利用生物质和城市固体废弃物生产可持续航空燃料（SAF）。该联盟汇聚了多方专业知识与能力，帮助客户精简从原料到成品的整个SAF生产链。
通过合作，四家公司计划推出一项新的联合技术方案，该方案将利用费托合成（FT）生产工艺，旨在释放全球丰富可用的原料选择，以满足SAF日益增长的需求并支持能源安全。这种联合模式旨在缩短项目周期，并为客户提供项目执行和产品保障的单一责任点，确保SAF生产全过程的沟通、协调和可靠性。
借助四家公司的资源，这一集成化模块化解决方案预计将把可行性研究到设施启动的时间缩短15%以上，并可将资本支出降低至多10%。
该技术联盟计划推向市场的创新解决方案为非独家服务，面向需要全方位服务的客户，包括：
-
GIDARA Energy在气化和合成气生产（用于原料转化）方面的专业能力；
-
Johnson Matthey提供合成气制燃料的先进催化剂和技术；
-
Honeywell的工艺技术和数字化自动化解决方案；
-
SAMSUNG E&A在全球工程、采购、施工及项目执行管理方面的专业经验。
近期，该合作旨在扩大气化和费托合成SAF生产方法的应用规模，同时使生物质和城市固体废弃物能够作为原料使用。随着SAF行业面临传统原料的限制，国际能源署报告指出，到2030年，由废弃物和非粮食能源作物生产的生物燃料将满足超过40%的生物燃料总需求，这使得该生产方法变得愈发重要。
联盟成员高管评价
霍尼韦尔能源与可持续发展解决方案总裁兼首席执行官肯・韦斯特（Ken West）表示：“我们创新的端到端SAF联盟的成立，彰显了合作应对全球能源需求的力量。随着SAF需求的增加，扩展可用原料选择的技术变得至关重要。这一全面的联盟为炼油厂提供了快速实现其愿景的战略路径。”
庄信万丰催化剂技术首席执行官Maurits van Tol表示：“该联盟针对SAF生产商面临的共同挑战，提供了一条更快捷、资本支出成本更低的新路径。将如此领先的专业知识汇聚在一起，对于支持我们的客户就其项目做出最终投资决策至关重要，并有助于加速SAF在全球的部署。”
吉达拉能源首席执行官Norbert Kamp博士表示：“当专业知识与雄心相结合时，联盟便彰显了一切皆有可能。通过联合我们的力量，我们正在释放废弃物的价值，以满足SAF日益增长的需求。我们不仅提供技术解决方案，更在帮助客户和社区实现废弃物作为更清洁能源未来催化剂的潜力。”
三星工程公司总裁兼首席执行官Hong Namkoong表示：“在三星工程建设，我们相信，提供端到端的SAF解决方案不仅需要创新，还需要与世界级技术供应商建立强大的联盟。通过整合这些先进技术并利用我们成熟的工程、采购和施工（EPC）执行能力，我们正在构建一个有韧性和可扩展的SAF价值链，推动可持续航空的未来。”
该新联盟建立在霍尼韦尔与庄信万丰在合成燃料领域的紧密合作基础上，双方此前已合作提供甲醇制喷气燃料和费托路径解决方案。

Honeywell, Johnson Matthey, GIDARA Energy And SAMSUNG E&A Form SAF Technology Alliance
Honeywell, Johnson Matthey, GIDARA Energy and SAMSUNG E&A today announced the formation of a strategic technology alliance to bring a groundbreaking end-to-end global solution to market for producing sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) from biomass and municipal solid waste. The alliance brings together a wealth of diverse expertise and capabilities to help customers streamline the entire SAF production chain—from feedstock to final product.
By collaborating, the companies plan to introduce a new joint technology offering that leverages the Fischer-Tropsch (FT) production process and aims to unlock abundant, globally available feedstock options to help meet the growing demand for SAF and support energy security. The joint approach aims to expedite project timelines and provide customers with a single point of accountability for project execution and product guarantees, ensuring communication, coordination and reliability throughout the SAF production process.
With the resources of all four companies, the integrated and modular solution is expected to reduce the time between feasibility study and facility startup by more than 15% and can reduce capital expenditures by up to 10%.
The innovative solution the technology alliance plans to bring to market is a non-exclusive offering designed for customers wanting a full-service delivery including:
-
GIDARA Energy’s proficiency in gasification and syngas production for feedstock transformation.
-
Johnson Matthey brings advanced catalysts and technology for syngas to fuels.
-
Honeywell’s process technology and digital automation solutions.
-
SAMSUNG E&A's global expertise in engineering, procurement, construction and project execution management.
Over the near-term, the collaboration aims to scale the use of gasification and FT SAF production methods, while enabling biomass and municipal solid waste to be used as feedstocks. As the SAF industry faces limits of traditional feedstocks, this production method is becoming increasingly important with the International Energy Agency reporting that biofuels produced from waste and nonfood energy crops will meet more than 40% of total biofuel demand by 2030.2
SAF technology alliance member quotes
“The launch of our innovative end-to-end SAF alliance demonstrates the power of collaboration to address the world’s energy demands,” said Ken West, President and CEO, Honeywell Energy and Sustainability Solutions. “As demand for SAF increases, the technology to expand available feedstock options becomes increasingly vital. This comprehensive alliance provides refiners with a strategic approach to quickly execute their vision.”
“The alliance targets the common challenges faced by SAF producers and offers a new way forward with greater speed and lower capital expense cost. Bringing such leading expertise together is critical in supporting our customers to reach the final investment decision on their projects and can help accelerate the deployment of SAF worldwide,” said Maurits van Tol, CEO of Catalyst Technologies, Johnson Matthey.
“This alliance exemplifies what’s possible when expertise and ambition come together. By combining our forces, we are unlocking the value of waste to meet the growing demand for SAF,” said Dr. Norbert Kamp, CEO, GIDARA Energy. “We are not just providing a technical solution – we are helping clients and communities realise the potential of waste as a catalyst for a future supported by cleaner energy sources.”
"At SAMSUNG E&A, we believe that delivering end-to-end SAF solutions requires more than innovation—it demands strong alliances with world-class technology providers. By integrating these advanced technologies and leveraging our proven engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) execution excellence, we are building a resilient and scalable SAF value chain that will drive the future of sustainable aviation,” said Hong Namkoong, President and CEO of SAMSUNG E&A.
The new alliance builds on the strong synthetic fuel collaboration between Johnson Matthey and Honeywell to provide methanol-to-jet and FT pathway solutions.
