Chevron, Neste team up on new tech to produce SAF from lignocellulosic biomass

Chevron Lummus Global and sustainable aviation fuel producer Neste have teamed up to develop technology for converting lignocellulosic biomass into renewable fuels (including SAF) at the research and development facility in US.

“Lignocellulosic waste and residues can make an important contribution as a new and scalable raw material pool for renewable fuels,” said Lars Peter Lindfors, senior vice president of technology and innovation at Neste. “The technology development with CLG has progressed well and we are very encouraged by the initial results.”

The two companies will bring together Chevron Lummus’ expertise and leadership in renewable fuels along with the capabilities of Neste in renewable fuels space.

“Our collaboration and initial success demonstrate the complementary strengths of Neste and CLG to create a powerful, scalable platform to produce renewable fuel from lignocellulosic raw material,” said Rajesh Samarth, chief executive officer of Chevron Lummus Global. “By advancing the hydroprocessing of diverse feedstocks, we’re not only expanding the possibilities for renewable fuels but also setting a new benchmark for innovation in sustainable energy.”
