Transform biomass and waste into renewable aviation, marine and road fuels with established processing technologies.
Transform biomass and waste into renewable aviation, marine and road fuels with established processing technologies.
Honeywell processing technologies can convert abundant biomass, waste oils and agricultural residues into drop-in fuels that work with existing infrastructure – typically without engine modifications. Repurpose underutilized refinery assets or build dedicated units to produce renewable diesel, aviation fuel and marine fuels that can reduce lifecycle emissions up to 82% compared to conventional petroleum fuels.1

Up to 82% fewer CO₂ emissions1
SAF produced using Ecofining™ can cut carbon by up to 82% compared to petroleum jet fuel. Lower your fleet's carbon footprint typically without changing aircraft or fueling infrastructure.
70M metric tons CO₂ avoided2
Licensed capacity of Honeywell renewable fuel technologies has helped avoid an estimated 70 million metric tons of CO₂ compared to equivalent fossil fuel production.
100+ years of refining expertise3
Honeywell has been a pioneer in renewable fuels for over 30 years.4 Tap established technologies backed by a century of refining innovation to derisk your energy transition.
Our solutions can process waste fats, oils and greases, agricultural residues, forestry biomass, dedicated energy crops and Fischer-Tropsch liquids.
Each technology can target specific feedstock types to help optimize conversion efficiency and product yields.
Honeywell biofuels meet the same ASTM specifications as conventional jet fuel, diesel and marine fuel, so you can integrate them into current operations typically without significant technical hurdles. In terms of emissions performance, you can achieve lifecycle GHG reductions of up to 70-82% compared to petroleum equivalents.1, 2 Our Ecofining™ process can deliver up to 82% CO2 reduction for SAF, while Biocrude Upgrading achieves up to 70% for marine applications.3, 4 The key advantage is that performance characteristics match conventional fuels, so users get the carbon footprint benefits typically without compromising operational reliability.

Many existing assets can produce biofuels with targeted modifications. With coprocessing, plants can add renewable feedstock to current hydroprocessing units without major capital investment. Existing reactors, strippers, compressors and fractionators can often handle bio-feeds with strategic revamps. This approach can cut implementation time and capital costs, compared to building dedicated facilities. Start with small bio-feed volumes to test performance, then scale up as you optimize operations and conditions support expansion.
