HIF Global, the world's leading eFuels company, intends to deploy the new technology to produce eSAF at its second U.S. eFuels facility.\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \neFuels, also known as electrofuels, are a class of synthetic fuels that can replace conventionally produced fossil fuels. eFuels combine green hydrogen (i.e., hydrogen produced in electrolyzers from renewable energy and water) and carbon dioxide (CO2) to produce eMethanol, which can then be converted to a wide range of sustainable fuels, including eSAF, eGasoline, and eDiesel.\nHoneywell's UOP eFining is a methanol to jet fuel (MTJ) processing technology that can convert eMethanol to eSAF reliably and at scale. The technology is efficient, resulting in high-yield eSAF production at a lower cost relative to comparable technologies. Honeywell UOP eFining can reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 88% compared to conventional jet fuel1. When blended with conventional jet fuel, eSAF is a drop-in replacement fuel that requires no changes to aircraft technology or fuel infrastructure.\n\"As a leader in renewable fuel technology, Honeywell recognizes that creating technologies that use new feedstocks is vital to long-term decarbonization of the aviation sector,\" said Lucian Boldea, president and CEO of Honeywell Performance Materials and Technologies. \"The ability to use readily abundant CO2 to produce SAF is a transformational opportunity for this market. Adding UOP eFining™ to our existing Ecofining and ethanol to jet technologies, Honeywell now offers multiple routes to market to meet the rapidly growing demand for renewable fuels including SAF.\" \n\"United strongly supports the development of new technologies that can help bring additional quantities of SAF to market,\" said United Airlines Ventures President Michael Leskinen. \"Using green H2 and CO2 to produce eSAF has the potential to dramatical...
