Honeywell and Granbio Partner for Aviation Fuel

Honeywell and GranBio Technologies have announced the combination of Honeywell's ethanol-to-jet (ETJ) technology with GranBio's cellulosic ethanol AVAP technology to produce carbon-neutral sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) from biomass residues at GranBio's forthcoming U.S. demonstration plant.

GranBio's patented AVAP process converts biomass, including forest and agricultural residues, to pure low-cost, low-carbon-intensity sugars, lignin, and nanocellulose. The cellulosic sugars are converted to both SAF, through Honeywell's ETJ technology, and biochemicals, through a separate process.
