Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF)

Ethanol-to-jet via the Petron ETE pathway

Status: Commercial with co-development partners
Feedstock: Any fermentation-grade ethanol, including 2G
Product: CORSIA-eligible SAF
GHG reduction: Over 60% vs fossil jet

Petron's proprietary ETE technology is the upstream step in a fully integrated, CORSIA-eligible SAF route. Bio-ethylene from the ETE process is oligomerized and hydrotreated into jet-range hydrocarbons with lifecycle GHG reductions of over 60% versus fossil jet fuel.

The route works with any fermentation-grade ethanol feedstock, including our own 2G cellulosic platform. As a global leader in the first critical step of the SAF pathway, Ethanol to Ethylene, Petron is fully familiar with the complete SAF technology platform and can support, integrate, and evaluate the leading ethylene-to-SAF technologies for clients and partners, recommending the one best suited to each project.
