Sustainable Fuel Innovation: JM and Honeywell UOP Partner for End-to-End Solutions
Key Ideas
  • JM and Honeywell UOP join forces to offer end-to-end solutions for sustainable fuel development using various feedstocks like municipal solid waste and biogas.
  • The partnership aims to reduce operating costs and accelerate the deployment of projects producing fuels through Fischer-Tropsch and methanol routes.
  • This collaboration expands the feedstock options for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production, helping address the aviation industry's challenge of limited traditional SAF sources.
  • The MoU also enhances the existing partnership in CCS-enabled hydrogen, focusing on producing low carbon intensity hydrogen at scale.
Johnson Matthey (JM) and Honeywell UOP have announced a partnership to provide comprehensive solutions for businesses looking to develop alternative fuels from diverse feedstocks including municipal solid waste, residual biomass, biogas, and CO₂. By combining JM's syngas solutions with Honeywell UOP's expertise in fuel upgrading technologies, the collaboration aims to drive down operational costs and expedite the execution of projects generating fuels via Fischer-Tropsch or methanol pathways. The Fischer-Tropsch route will utilize JM and bp's developed FT CANS technology, along with Honeywell's FT Unicracking technology, to produce a sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) meeting industry standards. On the other hand, the methanol route will integrate Honeywell UOP eFiningTM technology with JM's methanol technologies to offer a comprehensive solution for methanol to jet conversion. Alberto Giovanzana, JM's Managing Director of Catalyst Technologies, highlighted the value of merging their technologies to benefit customers in their sustainable fuel ventures. Kelly Seibert, Vice President & General Manager at Honeywell UOP, emphasized the importance of expanding feedstock options for SAF production to include more abundant sources like waste biomass and municipal solid waste. The collaboration also builds upon JM and Honeywell UOP's existing partnership in CCS-enabled hydrogen. This aspect combines JM's LCH technology with Honeywell's carbon capture technology to produce low carbon intensity hydrogen at a larger scale. Barry Glickman, General Manager of Honeywell Sustainable Technology Solutions, underlined the significance of collaboration in driving innovation in the energy transition. By leveraging each other's strengths, JM and Honeywell UOP are not only enhancing their offerings in sustainable fuel production but also contributing to a greener, more sustainable future.
