Honeywell International said that Total SA would use its UOP Ecofining process technology to manufacture renewable fuels at its Grandpuits platform at Seine-et-Marne in north-central France.
Under the contract, Honeywell UOP will serve technology licenses, basic engineering, specialty equipment, and catalysts for the project.
The facility will mainly produce renewable fuels for jets. It will have a processing capacity of 400,000 tpa of feeds, with production capacities of 170,000 tons of sustainable aviation fuel, 120,000 tons of renewable diesel, and 50,000 tons of renewable naphtha for the production of bioplastics.
Ben Owens, VP and general manager of Honeywell’s Sustainable Technology Solutions business commented, “UOP’s Ecofining process will help Total to convert its Grandpuits refinery into a zero-crude platform that supports government plans to develop fossil fuel substitutes and achieve carbon neutrality.”
