A planned 10-ton-per-day pilot plant project producing Sustainable Aviation Fuel from Renewable Ethanol. If the pilot works, the first commercial-scale SAFFiRE project is projected to start construction in 2027. The project involves D3MAX LLC, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO), Southwest Airlines, NREL, LanzaJet, and other partners.
The repurposing of Shell’s Convent Refinery into a biofuels facility. Shell Convent Refinery is located next to the Mississippi River, midway between Baton Rouge and New Orleans. Shell shut down the refinery in November 2020.
SkyNRG’s first SAF production facility in the U.S. The goal is to produce 30 million gallons (90,000 tonnes) per year by 2027, from sources such as renewable natural gas (RNG) and green hydrogen. The facility would be located in the Pacific Northwest region of the US. The project is supported by The Boeing Company and other… Continue reading SkyNRG Pacific Northwest Project – PNW
Gevo’s Net-Zero Project transforms renewable energy into energy-dense liquids. It is located on 240 acres of land near Lake Preston, South Dakota. The site is attractive because of its abundant sustainable corn supply, high-protein feed demand, rail transportation, and renewable energy potential. The name Net-Zero 1 is a reference to the net-zero greenhouse gas emissions… Continue reading Gevo | Lake Preston Biofuels Project | Net-Zero 1
Energy Allied International, headquartered in Houston, TX was approved in May 2023 for an Air Permit for the construction of the Sandpiper Methanol plant located in Texas City. Sandpiper’s current design and construction of this natural gas-to-methanol manufacturing facility would be located on land leased from Eastman Chemicals at the Bay Street site. Once operating… Continue reading Sandpiper Blue Methanol Plant
A blue methanol production plant at the Port of Caddo-Bossier in Shreveport, Louisiana. Plans for the proposed plant include a production capability of 530,000 metric tons of methanol annually, using natural gas as a feedstock. The plant would feature carbon capture capabilities, reducing carbon dioxide. The facility would be located on a 74-acre site located… Continue reading Bia Energy | Port of Caddo-Bossier Blue Methanol Plant
A hydrogen-fired blue methanol production facility on the lower Mississippi River, 25 miles south of New Orleans in Plaquemines Parish. The carbon dioxide produced from the plant will be removed and directed either to sequestration or for re-use by carbon tech companies located adjacent to the plant, including the plan to recycle the CO2 into… Continue reading IGP Methanol Mississippi River Blue Methanol Production Facility
A facility in Florida manufacturing bio-methanol from biomass.
A 200,000 metric ton per year waste-to-methanol production facility that would include a waste processing and treatment facility, a biorefinery, and an electrolyzer for green hydrogen production. The project would source approximately 320,000 MTPA of regional biomass that would be stored, treated, and dried. The treated biogenic waste would be fed to a gasifier, which… Continue reading Proman Waste-to-Methanol Facility
Ørsted’s development of a 675 MW Power-to-X facility on the US Gulf Coast. The facility is expected to produce approximately 300,000 tonnes of e-methanol per year. The methanol will fuel A.P. Moller-Maersk’s fleet of 12 methanol-powered vessels. The facility will be powered by approx. 1.2GW of renewable energy from onshore wind and solar PV farms.… Continue reading Ørsted Power-to-X Facility — Project Star
