DG Fuels awards MyRechemical contract for Nebraska (U.S.) SAF plant
MAIRE S.p.A., through its subsidiary MyRechemical, has been awarded by DG Fuels an early engineering, licensing and Process Design Package (PDP) contract based on its proprietary NX CircularTM gasification technology for a SAF plant located in Nebraska, USA.
The plant of DG Fuels, a US company engaged in renewable hydrogen and low emissions aviation fuel, is expected to be operational in 2029, with an annual production of 450 million liters of SAF derived from residual biomass.
The licensing and process design package phase is subject to Notice to Proceed and is necessary for the implementation of the gasification and gas treatment units, able to process 1 million tons per year of corn stover, representing the first step for the SAF production.
The project meets the requirements set by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)’s Clean Fuels & Products Shot initiative, which aims to decarbonize the aviation sector by industrializing SAF production. Additionally, SAF derived from biomass or waste resources is eligible under the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) established by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) to reduce airlines’ carbon offsetting requirements. The combined capacity of DG Fuels’ SAF plants in Louisiana and Nebraska could potentially account for 8% of the US SAF mandate by 2030
