Catalysis for SAF production

As the aviation industry accelerates its push toward net-zero, the role of advanced catalysis in enabling sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production is becoming increasingly critical.
Ketjen, a global leader in refinery catalyst solutions, is committed to help its customers in this transformation.
Ketjen’s ReNewFine catalysts have been applied in the production of renewable fuels for decades.
These catalyst solutions enable the conversion of waste oils and fats into renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel.
The company has partnered with Neste, a pioneer in SAF production that depends on catalysts especially as they gradually tailor their output to produce more of the green fuel.
Neste’s current production capacity of 1.5 MT/y accounts for a significant percentage of global SAF production.
“With the supply agreements Neste has with major airlines and airports, there’s a good chance the SAF used on your next flight has been produced using Ketjen’s catalysts,” explained Bob Leliveld, chief technology officer at Ketjen.
