Topsoe has been selected by PT Kilang Pertamina Internasional as the technology licensor to provide its HydroFlex™ technology for the production of renewable fuels at the Cilacap refinery complex in Central Java, Indonesia.
Once completed, the refinery will use the technology to convert bio-feedstock into SAF and renewable diesel at a planned production rate of 6,000 bpsd.
This milestone marks the company’s 50th HydroFlex™ reference worldwide.
Alok Verma, Managing Director, Asia Pacific, Topsoe, said: “We are delighted to continue our close working relationship with Pertamina, which marks our fifth technology reference with the group.
“This award at the Cilacap refinery is an important milestone for the supply of renewable fuels to the Asian market. It’s a great pleasure to be working with Pertamina on these very successful projects that are moving the region towards carbon neutrality.”
Renewable fuels are low-carbon fuels that are chemically identical to regular petroleum diesel or jet fuel, but are produced from renewable sources.
These renewable fuels produce fewer greenhouse gas emissions while providing the same performance as regular petroleum diesel or jet fuel. They can be used as drop-in fuels without any changes to engines or infrastructure. Renewable fuels are made from waste, animal fats, used cooking oils and organic materials such as soybean oil.
With HydroFlex™, customers can convert low-value feedstocks into drop-in renewable jet and diesel fuels that meet all globally accepted specifications for these fuels.
