This project is part of a global context of reducing emissions from the aviation sector, in accordance with international CORSIA, RSB and EU regulations. Located in India, the planned plant should be capable of producing sustainable fuel using Fischer-Tropsch and Methanol-to-Jet technologies, effectively exploiting intermittent renewable energies available locally. The major challenge lies in adapting the design to the specific constraints related to the seasonal variability of renewable energy sources and CO2 from a local pulp mill.
In addition, it is crucial to optimize production costs by reducing non-recoverable by-products. The project includes comprehensive simulations to determine the best technological and economic solution, thus allowing for an informed and strategic decision.
The customer wants to have a complete and viable solution to produce SAFs that comply with international standards. This involves a thorough mastery of available technologies, rigorous cost optimization and the ability to effectively manage the specific constraints associated with the intermittent production of renewable energy and variable sources of CO2. Full transparency on production costs and regulatory constraints is essential to guarantee the success of the project.
Provide a comprehensive and comparative assessment of the technologies available for SAF.
Optimize total production costs and minimize the impacts of by-products.
Ensure strict compliance with international standards (CORSIA, EU, RSB).
The mission involved a thorough assessment of market trends, international regulations and the various technologies available. The rigorous comparative study of the Fischer-Tropsch and Methanol-to-Jet processes made it possible to determine the most viable solution adapted to the local Indian context. Advanced systemic modeling, accompanied by sensitivity analyses, made it possible to optimize the project architecture to minimize costs and maximize efficiency, while ensuring regulatory compliance.
In-depth comparative evaluation of Fischer-Tropsch and Methanol-to-Jet technologies.
Systemic modeling and optimization to minimize costs and by-products.
Design adapted to the specific constraints of intermittent energy and CO2 production.
