Topsoe Partners with NXTClean Fuels for Major U.S. SAF and Renewable Diesel Project
- NXTClean Fuels' Oregon facility will produce 50,000 barrels per day of renewable diesel and SAF.
- The project is expected to be operational by 2029, pending a final investment decision.
- Topsoe will provide HydroFlex™, SynCOR™, and H2bridge™ technologies for the project.
- The facility aims to reduce carbon intensity by recycling biogenic propane and off-gas.
Project Overview
NXTClean Fuels has selected Topsoe as the technology licensor for its new sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and renewable diesel facility at Port Westward, Oregon. The facility is expected to produce up to 50,000 barrels per day of renewable diesel and SAF, making it the largest greenfield SAF project in the U.S. once operational.
Technology and Implementation
Topsoe will provide its proprietary HydroFlex™, SynCOR™, and H2bridge™ technologies and catalysts for the project. These technologies will enable the facility to recycle biogenic propane and off-gas to create hydrogen with lower carbon intensity, while also producing excess low-carbon hydrogen to replace fossil fuels used for refinery heat.
Timeline and Expectations
The project is subject to a final investment decision and is expected to be operational by 2029. The integration of Topsoe's technologies aims to significantly reduce the carbon intensity of the renewable diesel and SAF produced at the facility.
