DG Fuels partners with JM and bp to advance large-scale $4bn SAF plant

DG Fuels (DGF) has selected Johnson Matthey (JM) and bp for its co-developed hydrogen-based Fischer Tropsch (FT) CANS™ technology to be used in a sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) plant.

Projected to be worth $4bn, the Louisiana plant is expected to be the largest deployment of FT CANS to date, producing 600,000Mt of SAF per year once fully operational, making it the “largest announced” production plant using a non-hydrotreated esters and fatty acids (HEFA) pathway.

The plant, located in St. James Parish, is anticipated to begin production in 2028 and will become a network of more than 10 SAF production plants that DGF is planning across the US, all modelled on the JM and bp Louisiana plant.

The SAF will be produced from waste biomass, with DGF planning to purchase around $120m of sugar cane waste annually. The FT process includes carbon monoxide and hydrogen gases reacting to produce a range of hydrocarbons. FT CANS converts the synthesis gas to synthetic crude, allowing for the syngas to be produced from biomass, which is then further processed to create synthetic kerosene that can be blended with conventional jet fuel.
