Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Jan Toschka, the head of aviation at Shell plc (NYSE:SHEL) (London, England) said this week he expects global aviation fuel demand will return to pre-pandemic levels within the next two years. That's particularly good news for the nascent market for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and renewable jet fuel, which are gaining attention globally. Industrial Info is tracking more than $38 billion worth of projects related to the production or storage of SAF or renewable jet fuel globally, including $10.4 billion worth across the U.S.
Toschka told Reuters that demand in the U.S. already has returned to 2019 levels, while Europe already has reached more than 80% of pre-COVID levels and is on track for full recovery in the next year. He noted Asia's aviation industry was facing more challenges in returning to past demand levels, "with markets opening up and closing down" amid various COVID-19 scares.

Shell is among the oil and gas titans weighing the long-term potential for SAF, with a goal to draw 10% of its global jet sales by 2030 from renewable fuels. It already is at work on its massive Pernis Biorefinery in Rotterdam, Netherlands, which will produce 820,000 tons per year of SAF and hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO), which is a type of renewable diesel. Components include an HVO unit that will produce diesel from used cooking oil, animal fat waste and other residuals until more advanced feedstocks are more widely available.
Toschka said the Rotterdam plant is expected to begin production by 2025, and that Shell will produce more than 2 million tons of SAF annually by 2030.

In the U.S., the Gulf Coast region--normally a haven for the processing and export of oil and gas products--is home to two of the largest proposed projects in the SAF and renewable diesel market. USA BioEnergy LLC (Scottsdale, Arizona), through its subsidiary Texas Renewable Fuels, is in the early design phases for a SAF and renewable diesel plant in Bon Wier, Texas, which is designed to process 1 million tons per year of wood waste into 34 million gallons per year of clean-burning transportation fuel.

Fidelis New Energy LLC (Houston, Texas) is making steady progress on its proposed Gron Fuels complex in the Port of Greater Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The project, which includes an SAF unit and renewable diesel plant, is currently slated to begin construction toward the end of 2023, although various factors could push back the kickoff date. It is also expected to feature a carbon-capture and sequestration unit that will capture about 1 million tons per year of CO2, and a "Power-to-X" green hydrogen unit.
Among other products, the facility will process non-fossil feedstocks--including soybean oil, corn oil and animal fat waste--into 73,000 barrels per day of low-carbon renewable diesel. Optimized Process Designs, a subsidiary of Koch Industries (Wichita, Kansas), was recently signed to provide engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) services, while Yokogawa Corporation of America (Sugar Land, Texas) was selected as the preferred supplier of automation technology, equipment and services. Subscribers can read detailed project reports on the SAF, renewable diesel, carbon-capture and green hydrogen units.
