Lummus Technology and Next Wave Energy Partners, LP\u00a0(Next Wave)\u00a0announced the production of the world\u2019s first renewable alkylate. This renewable alkylate, derived from ethanol and produced through a series of Lummus\u2019 technologies, is a bio-based, low carbon intensity fuel blending component.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis achievement continues Lummus\u2019 success in innovating and developing breakthrough technologies that propel our industry forward,\u201d said Leon de Bruyn, President and Chief Executive Officer, Lummus Technology.<\/strong> \u201cThe success of renewable alkylate production holds strategic significance for our customers, partners and the industry at large as we shift towards more eco-friendly and efficient chemical processes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe production of renewable alkylate, a drop-in blending component with 30% lower carbon intensity than traditional gasoline, is a major breakthrough for our industry and an important milestone in the development of Next Wave\u2019s Project Lightning,\u201d said Michael Bloesch, Next Wave<\/strong> President and Chief Executive Officer. \u201cProject Lightning can enhance the capabilities and optionality of our existing ethylene-to-alkylate facility by enabling the world-scale conversion of ethanol into renewable alkylate, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), and carbon negative, polymer grade ethylene \u2014 all from the same flexible production unit.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Working together, Next Wave and Lummus began by taking green ethylene produced from ethanol using the EtE EverGreen\u2122 technology. The green ethylene was then shipped to Lummus\u2019 Research and Development Center in Pasadena, Texas, where it was processed in multiple pilot plants and converted into the renewable alkylate. Next Wave then conducted extensive engine and emissions testing on the renewable alkylate to ensure performance and verify the expected carbon intensity. In addition, Next Wave is submitting a fuel registration to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for gasoline with up to 79% of renewable alkylate content under 40 CFR Part 79.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
