Natural State Renewables, Axens achieve major milestone towards production of SAF from surplus forest biomass
Natural State Renewables, a future leader in carbon-negative sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production, has formed a strategic partnership with Axens, a global leader in providing proven sustainable solutions through its comprehensive technology and products portfolio, including for the conversion of biomass to clean fuels.
The collaboration between Natural State Renewables, Axens, and its technology partner thyssenkrupp Uhde, marks a significant milestone in the decarbonization journey of the aviation industry. The companies will use the innovative, proven BioTfueL® technology to produce SAF made from surplus forest biomass such as pre-commercial thinnings and slash.
This fully integrated process was developed by six major players in the decarbonization field, Avril, Axens, CEA, IFP Energies nouvelles (IFPEN), TotalEnergies and thyssenkrupp Uhde. Natural State Renewables expects to utilize a combination of feedstock, process configuration, power generation and capture of facility CO₂ emissions to produce SAF with negative GHG emissions, when compared to the fossil-jet baseline and independently calculated on a life-cycle basis.
