Verdagy to utilise Petron’s electrolyzers to produce SAF

Hydrogen electrolysis company Verdagy has partnered with renewable sustainable chemical and biofuel process firm Petron Scientech to supply its electrolyzers for production of SAF, renewable diesel and e-Methanol at the former’s biorefinery site in the US.
The company said it will use 320MW of Verdagy’s eDynamic® electrolyzers to produce over 45 kilo tons per annum (KTA) of green hydrogen for integration into its first biorefinery project.
Vergady’s technology will result in a CO2e reduction of 500KTA or over 15 megatons by green hydrogen alone and combined with biorefinery resulting in reduction of 2 megatons/year or over 60 megatons of CO2e through the project lifetime.
“We were seeking a green hydrogen and oxygen solution partner that integrates well with our biorefineries/renewable chemicals, has leading performance and the technology expertise to scale to multiple GWs in a capital efficient manner. Verdagy fits the bill perfectly, and we are pleased and look forward to collaborating with the company on several projects globally,” said Petron Scientech’s CEO Yogi Sarin.
Petron said it is developing biorefineries and is engaged with airlines for offtake of SAF made using ethanol and bio-ethylene technologies and with shipping companies for offtake of e-Methanol, produced using green hydrogen.
“We’re excited to collaborate with Petron to grow the SAF and biofuels markets. Verdagy’s mission is to provide green hydrogen at fossil parity costs, without subsidies, within five years, to drive mass adoption and to meaningfully lower carbon emissions. Our electrolyzers pair seamlessly in real-time with renewable intermittent energy sources, and our industry-leading efficiency and operating range maximize asset utilization, leading to the lowest levelized cost of hydrogen (LCOH) in the world today,” said Verdagy’s CEO Marty Neese.
In addition to the 320MW electrolyzer, the two firms are also working on other projects to produce SAF, e-Methanol and bio-chemicals and polymers.
Verdagy opened its 1GW electrolyzer factory in Silicon Valley in 2024.
