Description
Indaba Renewable Fuels’s refinery in West Memphis, Arkansas.
Once operational, the refinery will produce around 79.5 million gallons of high-grade, low-sulphur, drop-in SAF a year using the Haldor Topsøe technology “HydroFlex”.
Indaba’s SAF will be produced using feedstock from 50% yellow grease – from used cooking oil, and 50% brown grease – from fat, oil and grease (FOG).
The facility will also contain the capacity to process FOG feedstock on-site.
The company has signed a 20-year feedstock supply agreement with supply manager Ecostrat, which will provide brown grease, yellow grease and distillers corn oil (DCO) feedstock to Indaba.
