Petrobas picks Honeywell technology for SAF project in Brazil – Biofuels International Magazine
Petrobras has selected Honeywell UOP’s ethanol-to-jet (EtJ) process technology for a new project at its REPLAN refinery in São Paulo, Brazil.
Once approved, the project will deliver up to 10,000 barrels per day of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), representing the first large-scale ETJ initiative in Latin America.
“Honeywell has a long history of providing innovative process technologies and technical expertise to reduce the cost to produce renewable fuels and help customers leverage new feedstock options,” said Ken West, president and CEO of Honeywell Process Technology. “With Honeywell’s ethanol-to-jet process technology, Petrobras is positioned to deliver low-carbon energy solutions leveraging abundant agricultural byproducts to create fuel, helping meet global demand.”
With SAF demand projected to grow significantly, refiners are already turning to replicable and reliable technology solutions, ready to accelerate production and support the aviation sector’s increasing commitments to lower-carbon operations.
“Brazil has the scale, feedstock and technology partners needed to become a global powerhouse in sustainable aviation fuel,” said José Fernandes, president of Honeywell Latin America. “This project is a major milestone for the region and demonstrates how strategic collaboration can accelerate Brazil’s role in the energy transition.”
Petrobras and Honeywell share a long‑standing relationship spanning refining technology, natural gas processing, and advanced automation systems, including the deployment of Honeywell’s Experion PKS across Petrobras facilities.
