In Italy, local firm Maire Tecnimont announced that NEXTCHEM, through its subsidiary MyRechemical, has been awarded a feasibility study for the integration of its proprietary Waste-to-Syngas technology in a large-scale conversion plant that would transform solid municipal waste into sustainable aviation fuel. This is the first major project in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) aimed at producing up to 120,000 tons per year of SAF. MyRechemical will provide the gasification unit to transform solid waste streams into synthesis gas (syngas). This syngas will be converted into low carbon ethanol and then to SAF. “We are happy to participate in the first waste-to-chemicals initiative in the UAE” said Giacomo Rispoli, CEO of MyRechemical. “This achievement further confirms our commitment in valorizing alternative feedstocks contributing concretely to the reduction of the carbon footprint in the aviation sector. This happens in a country like UAE where we boast a long-standing presence in the transformation of natural resources, and which is now open to sustainable innovation”.
