This agreement represents a key step in introducing an alternative to conventional jet fuel in this geography and contributes to our sustained efforts of supporting decarbonization globally. We look forward to further expand our relationship with Guangxi Hongkun Biomass to achieve their decarbonization goals.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jiaming Liu, General Manager of Guangxi Hongkun Biomass said:<\/strong> \u201cTopsoe has world-class capabilities in biomass and renewable fuel production, and we are deeply impressed by Topsoe&#8217;s global leading technology and market influence in this field. After comprehensive selection, we firmly believe that Topsoe is capable of providing strong support to Hongkun in the field of bio-aviation fuel production. Guangxi Hongkun and Topsoe will continue to strengthen the in-depth cooperation in green methanol, green ammonia, green hydrogen business, to help achieve green, low-carbon, efficient, safe and high-quality sustainable development.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Topsoe\u2019s selection serves to address the rapidly growing demand for SAF. As cited by the International Energy Agency\u2019s Net Zero Scenario, over 10% of fuel consumption in aviation needs to be SAF by 2030 to stay on course for net zero CO2 emissions by 2050. In 2022, the International Air Transport Association estimated global SAF production to make up only around 0.1% to 0.15% of total jet fuel demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><br>About HydroFlex\u2122<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With HydroFlex\u2122, customers can convert various fats, oils and greases into drop-in renewable jet and diesel that meet all globally accepted specifications for these fuels.
