Sulzer to enable SAF production in China

Swiss leading infrastructure and processes provider Sulzer solutions announced that it will provide technology support to a sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production facility in China.

“We are proud to support our customer in reducing carbon emissions in one of the world’s fastest-growing markets. As a strategic enabler of essential industries, we strive to tie economic prosperity to sustainable growth and are delighted to see our technological expertise serve the transition towards more sustainable fuel options,” said Sulzer’s executive chairwoman Suzanne Thoma.

The facility, based in Shandong, is expected to produce 500,000 metric tons of SAF per year.
