- Abundia and Topsoe will deploy HydroFlex at three planned North American plastic-to-fuel facilities.
- Each facility is expected to produce 1,500 barrels per day of renewable fuels when fully operational.
- The Baytown, Texas site targets a final investment decision by end-2026 and operations beginning in 2029.
- Facilities will use municipal and post-industrial plastics to produce diesel, sustainable aviation fuel and chemical feedstock.
Project overview
Abundia selected Topsoe's HydroFlex technology for three planned North American plastic-to-fuel facilities; the first site is Baytown, Texas.
Capacity and timeline
Each facility is expected to produce 1,500 barrels per day of renewable fuels when fully operational; the Baytown site targets a final investment decision by end-2026 and operations in 2029.
Feedstock and products
Plants will process municipal plastic waste and post-industrial plastics to produce chemical feedstock, diesel and sustainable aviation fuel compatible with existing engines and fuel infrastructure.
Technology
HydroFlex converts plastics, fats, oils and greases into drop-in jet and diesel that meet global specifications and can be deployed in grassroots units or revamps for co-processing or fully renewable applications.
Context
The facilities aim to divert plastic waste from landfills and support a more circular approach to resource use amid low global recycling rates.
