Novozymes introduces new enzymatic solution for renewable diesel and SAF

In Denmark, Novozymes A/S has achieved a significant breakthrough in the renewable diesel and Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) sector with the introduction of Quara LowP, a revolutionary enzymatic solution designed to transform feedstock pre-treatment processes. Novozymes has harnessed its extensive expertise in enzymatic degumming, resulting in the creation of Quara LowP. This groundbreaking solution empowers producers to process diverse feedstock blends without compromising their profitability.

Key Benefits of Quara LowP:

·      Enhanced Efficiency: Producers of HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) and HEFA (Hydroprocessed Esters and Fatty Acids) feedstocks can now efficiently process combinations of vegetable oils and other lipid feedstocks, boosting yields and reducing operational costs. Traditional practices involving excessive use of bleaching earth/bleaching clay to address contaminants in vegetable oils are rendered obsolete by Quara LowP’s superior and cost-effective solution.

·      Economic Advantages: Quara LowP empowers producers to achieve higher yields and lower operational expenses, effectively addressing process inefficiencies.

·      Environmental Impact: The industry stands to benefit from a more environmentally friendly operation, with reduced waste handling risks and lower water consumption, aligning with global sustainability objectives.

As Novozymes enters the renewable diesel and SAF industry, which is projected to experience a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12% from 2023 to 2027, Quara LowP is poised to play a pivotal role in fostering industry growth, sustainability, and efficiency.
