Technip Energies Takes a Major Step Forward with Jet Zero Australia for Sustainable Aviation Fuel
Technip Energies, a leading global technology and engineering company based in Paris, has recently been awarded a significant contract by Jet Zero Australia Pty Ltd (Jet Zero). This Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) contract is for Project Ulysses, which represents an ambitious initiative aimed at converting bioethanol into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in Townsville, Australia. This project marks a pivotal moment in Australias efforts to embrace more sustainable aviation practices.
The FEED contract encompasses a comprehensive scope of engineering activities, documentation, and planning. This phase is crucial as it aims to refine the project's cost estimates and develop detailed timelines for execution. By laying the groundwork in these areas, Technip Energies is positioning itself to ensure the project's success and efficiency.
Project Ulysses is designed to produce an impressive 102 million liters of sustainable aviation fuel and 11 million liters of renewable diesel annually by the year 2028. This will be achieved through the utilization of Australian bioethanol, along with advanced technologies developed by Technip Energies and its partner, LanzaJet. Specifically, Technip Energies Hummingbird technology will facilitate the conversion of bioethanol into sustainable ethylene, while LanzaJets alcohol-to-jet technology will take it a step further by transforming ethylene into SAF.
Sylvain Cabalery, the Senior Vice President of Sustainable Fuels, Chemicals & Circularity at Technip Energies, expressed enthusiasm about the progression of Project Ulysses. He stated, We are very pleased to see Project Ulysses moving forward to provide the first alcohol-to-jet SAF plant in Australia.
