In Malaysia, Petroliam Nasional Berhad (Petronas), Enilive and Euglena have reached the final investment decision (FID) to develop a biorefinery which will be located within Petronas’ Pengerang Integrated Complex (PIC) in Johor, Malaysia. The three companies will establish a joint venture company in Malaysia to construct and operate the biorefinery, with Petronas Mobility Lestari (PMLSB), a subsidiary of Petronas, and Enilive as the largest shareholders. Targeted to be operational by the second half of 2028, the biorefinery will have the capability to produce SAF and other biofuels such as Renewable Diesel/Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (HVO). The construction of the biorefinery is expected to begin in the fourth quarter of this year, and upon completion, will have the capability to process about 650,000 tons per year of raw materials to produce SAF, HVO, and bio-naphtha. The wastes and residue feedstocks for the biorefinery will comprise used vegetable oils, animal fats, waste from the processing of vegetable oils, and other biomass including microalgae oils.
