ST1 Nordic Refinery Implements Honeywell Technology to Produce Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF)

Honeywell has announced that the St1 refinery has begun utilizing its Ecofining technology to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). Located in Gothenburg, Sweden, the biorefinery will supply SAF to regional airlines, including Braathens Regional Airlines. The production of SAF through Ecofining technology aligns with Honeywell’s commitment to addressing three major megatrends, including the energy transition and the future of aviation.

The Gothenburg facility is set to produce 200,000 tonnes per year of renewable fuels and can process a variety of flexible feedstocks, such as used cooking oil, animal fats, and tall oil fatty acids sourced from paper and pulp mills. In addition to SAF, the biorefinery will also produce biodiesel, bio-naphtha, and bio liquid petroleum gas.

“The Gothenburg biorefinery marks a significant milestone in our energy transition roadmap and is a crucial step in St1’s journey towards more sustainable energy production,” stated Miika Eerola, St1 Head of Refining, Projects & HSSE. “With Honeywell’s Ecofining technology, we are taking an important step towards realizing our vision of becoming the leading producer and seller of CO2-aware energy.”
