Topsoe, a provider of advanced technology and solutions for the energy transition, has been selected technology provider by the Tangshan Jinlihai Biotechnology (Tangshan Jinlihai), a developer and provider of renewable fuels.
Topsoe will provide
its Hydroflex technology and related services for Tangshan Jinlihai industrial
hub with a capacity 300,000 tonnes of feedstock annually.
When the project is in
full operation, Topsoe’s technology is expected to enable an annual
emission avoidance of approximately 700,000 metric tonnes of CO2e – the equivalent of avoiding the
emissions from approximately two million passengers flying from Beijing to
Copenhagen.
Yassir Ghiyati, Chief
Commercial Officer at Topsoe, said:“We are delighted to announce our
collaboration with Tangshan Jinlihai, a partnership that reflects our shared
commitment to advancing sustainable aviation fuel and renewable diesel. By
applying Topsoe’s proven technologies, we are enabling customers to move closer
to their decarbonization goals while supporting efforts to reduce emissions
across both China and Europe, making the energy transition truly global.”
Aijun Li, Chairman of
Tangshan Jinlihai said: “Jinlihai
and Topsoe have jointly launched the sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) project,
marking a crucial step forward for us in the strategic layout of high-end green
energy and the active practice of new quality productivity. The project
will fully leverage the geographical and industrial advantages of the
Caofeidian National Petrochemical Base, using waste oil as feedstock and using
Topsoe's globally leading technology to build a high-quality SAF production.
This is not only a substantive measure for Jinlihai to extend its green
industrial chain, but also an important action for us to respond to China’s
"dual carbon" strategy and promote the low-carbon transformation of
the aviation industry.”
The project is located
in the Caofeidian Petrochemical Industry Base, Tangshan, Hebei province. With a
planned investment of approximately $210 million, construction is expected to
commence in second half of 2026, and operations due to start in second half of
2028. -TradeArabia News Service
