- Modular and scalable design
- Pool of experts with decades of experience across various sectors
Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and Renewable Diesel (RD, also known as HVO) are no longer emerging alternatives, they’re actionable solutions for low-carbon transport. Backed by regulation and growing demand, these drop-in fuels reduce emissions without major infrastructure changes.
The Main Challenges
Producing SAF and RD from waste- and residue-based lipids involves real-world challenges: feedstock variability, impurities, and solid waste especially in small or decentralized plants.
Nextchem’s Sustainable Fuels Product Suite addresses these barriers with a modular, scalable approach. The HEFA process converts fats, oils, and greases into biofuels. NX SAF™ Bio maximizes SAF output with high efficiency, while NX PTU™ ensures feedstock readiness through advanced pretreatment.
Combined, these technologies enable regional-scale SAF production, short supply chains, and resilient deployment.
Biofuels Produced Applications
- SAF for aviation (ASTM D7566)
- RD (HVO) for land and maritime mobility
- Renewable Naphtha for bioplastics production
Nextchem Technologies for Sustainable Fuels
Nextchem delivers a gate-to-gate solution, from pretreatment and hydrogen supply to final fuel, with a single point of accountability.
The fully integrated package which includes Pretreatment Unit (NX PTU), Hydrogen Production Unit and HEFA process (NX SAF BIO) for a complete and smooth project deployment.
Our HEFA solution for sustainable aviation fuels. This technology is offered in 4 sizes at relatively small scale: 30, 60, 90 and 120 kt/y. This solution represents the best available technology for small production of SAF, unlocking the opportunity of a sustainable aviation industry.
An advanced hydrolysis-based pre-treatment unit designed to efficiently process free fatty acids, remove metals, contaminants, and other impurities from challenging lipidic feedstocks, without producing solid waste.
