- Altalto's SAF plant in Immingham aims to produce 30 million litres of fuel annually by 2030.
- The project uses NX Circular™ gasification and NX CPO™ technologies to convert waste into fuel.
- The UK Department for Transport's Advanced Fuels Fund supports the project's engineering design.
- The plant expects to cut over 100,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually and create 100 permanent jobs.
Project Overview
Altalto Ltd. has partnered with NEXTCHEM's subsidiary, MyRechemical, to develop a Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) plant in Immingham, UK. The plant will utilize proprietary NX Circular™ gasification and NX CPO™ technologies to convert waste into fuel, with operations expected to commence by 2030.
Production and Technology
The facility aims to produce 30 million litres of SAF annually, using residual municipal solid waste and commercial and industrial waste as feedstocks. The NX Circular™ technology generates synthesis gas, which is transformed into SynCrude and upgraded to sustainable fuels, while NX CPO™ technology enhances synthesis gas production through controlled partial oxidation.
Support and Impact
The project has received a grant from the UK Department for Transport’s Advanced Fuels Fund to advance its Basic Engineering Design. It is projected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by over 100,000 tonnes of CO₂-equivalent per year, including carbon capture and storage (CCS), and create approximately 100 permanent jobs.
Economic and Environmental Benefits
During construction, the project will generate an additional 1,000 direct and 300 indirect jobs. It aims to improve the UK's balance of payments by reducing fuel imports and creating investment and export opportunities, while also valorizing residual waste.
