Jet Zero’s SAF project in Australia has reached a significant milestone. Technip Energies has been awarded the FEED contract, bringing the country closer to scaling sustainable aviation fuel production.

Technip Energies has been awarded a front-end engineering design (FEED) contract by Jet Zero Australia Pty Ltd (Jet Zero) for Project Ulysses, a bioethanol to sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) project located in Townsville, Australia. 

The FEED covers an extensive package of engineering activities, documentation, and planning to refine the project’s cost estimate and develop detailed timelines.

The project aims to produce 102 million liters of SAF and 11 million liters of renewable diesel annually by 2028 using Australian bioethanol and technologies from Technip Energies and LanzaJet. Technip Energies’ Hummingbird^® technology converts the bioethanol to sustainable ethylene, and LanzaJet’s alcohol-to-jet technology transforms the ethylene to SAF.

Sylvain Cabalery, SVP Sustainable Fuels, Chemicals & Circularity at Technip Energies, stated, “We are very pleased to see Project Ulysses moving forward to provide the first alcohol-to-jet SAF plant in Australia. With the global aviation industry looking for ways to secure their supply and lower emissions further, Technip Energies and LanzaJet’s integrated technology is a smart solution, bringing energy security while at the same time eliminating up to 70% of greenhouse gas emissions.”

Total D5 RIN generation for the first quarter of 2025 reached 72.4 million. That volume includes 36.42 million generated for naphtha by domestic producers, 28.26 million generated for nonester renewable diesel by domestic producers, 6.74 million generated for ethanol by domestic producers, 789,947 generated for renewable heating oil by domestic producers, 83,683 generated for compressed RNG by domestic producers, 65,823 generated for LPG by domestic producers, and 48,528 generated for RNG by domestic producers.

More than 1.21 billion D6 renewable fuel RINs were generated in March, nearly all for ethanol by domestic producers. An additional 988,011 D6 RINs were generated for ethanol by importers. 

Total D6 RIN generation for the first three months of the year reached 3.58 billion, nearly all for ethanol by domestic producers, with 3.3 million generated for ethanol by importers and 153,911 generated for biodiesel by domestic producers. 

According to the EPA, 54,155 D7 cellulosic diesel RINs were generated in March by importers for cellulosic heating oil. Total D7 RIN generation for the first quarter of 2025 reached 82,937, all of which were generated for cellulosic heating oil by importers.
