In France, SATORP, a platform jointly owned by Aramco and TotalEnergies, said it has successfully converted used cooking oil through coprocessing into ISCC+ certified SAF.
Last August, the platform successfully co-processed used cooking oil in the low-pressure hydrodesulphurization unit (LPHDS), producing SAF, meeting all product quality parameters within the SAF specifications.
SATORP has received International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC+) to produce SAF. With this certification, the platform will be able to respond the expected rise in SAF demand in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Francois Good, Senior Vice President, Refining and Petrochemicals Africa Middle East and Asia at TotalEnergies said: “This project at SATORP is part of TotalEnergies’ aim to produce 1.5 million tons/y of SAF by 2030. Sustainable aviation fuel is essential to reducing the CO2 emissions of air transport, and its development is fully aligned with the company’s climate ambition to get to net zero by 2050, together with society.”
