Syzygy to use Honeywell tech at Uruguay site

Honeywell announced that it will provide its Fischer-Tropsch Unicracking technology to biogas-to-SAF company Syzygy Plasmonics to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) from dairy waste and renewable energy at its biogas-to-SAF facility in Duranzo, Uruguay.

“Syzygy’s modular construction paired with our proven, innovative technology demonstrates how biogas-to-SAF facilities can become more achievable and help improve waste-to-clean-energy conversion,” said Rajesh Gattupalli, president of Honeywell UOP.

Syzygy’s commercial plant, NovaSAF-1, is expected to produce more than 350,000 gallons of SAF per year. The NovaSAF platform can be replicated at over 50,000 biogas sites globally, helping scale affordable SAF production of abundant feedstock.

“Our innovative NovaSAF platform helps meet the growing demand for sustainable aviation fuels by achieving both high volumes and low price points, even as low as Jet-A parity under the right conditions,” said Trevor Best, CEO and co-founder of Syzygy Plasmonics.

“With Honeywell’s hydrocracking technology, we can accelerate the development of our modular NovaSAF-1 plant, which will serve as a repeatable, scalable model for the future. This plant will show the world how profitable it can be to produce SAF from biogas waste streams combined with renewable energy.”
