TotalEnergies (Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE):
SATORP, platform jointly owned by Aramco (62,5 %) and
TotalEnergies (37,5 %), has for the first time in the region
successfully converted used cooking oil through coprocessing into
ISCC+ certified Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF).
Last August, the platform successfully co-processed Used Cooking
Oil in the Low-Pressure Hydrodesulphurization Unit (LPHDS),
producing SAF, meeting all product quality parameters within the
SAF specifications. TotalEnergies contributed thanks to its
experience and expertise to this realization.
SATORP has received International Sustainability and Carbon
Certification (ISCC+) to produce SAF. With this certification, the
platform will be able to respond the expected rise in SAF demand in
the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The sustainable aviation fuels produced from UCO reduces CO2
emissions by at least 80% on average over the entire lifecycle,
compared with their fossil equivalent.
With this success, TotalEnergies through its platform located in
Jubail keeps developing its portfolio of circular products. SATORP
has previously announced converting oil derived from plastic waste
into ISCC+ certified circular polymers.
Francois Good, Senior Vice President, Refining and
Petrochemicals Africa Middle East and Asia at TotalEnergies said:
"This project at SATORP is part of TotalEnergies' aim to produce
1.5 million tons/y of SAF by 2030. Sustainable aviation fuel is
essential to reducing the CO2 emissions of air transport, and its
development is fully aligned with the Company's climate ambition to
get to net zero by 2050, together with society"
