Novozymes has launched a new enzymatic solution that enables efficient processing of mixed feedstocks for renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production.
The Danish company's Quara LowP product is designed to transform the feedstock pre-treatment process, allowing flexibility to process blends of vegetable oils with other lipid feedstocks without negatively impacting customers’ bottom line.
Novozymes, which is listed in multiple markets, said the solution also offers environmental benefits, such as reduced waste handling hazards and lower water consumption.
"This innovation is a testament to our commitment to sustainable solutions for the renewable diesel and SAF industry,” said Hans Ole Klingenberg, vice president of marketing for agricultural and industrial biosolutions at Novozymes.
“Quara LowP offers producers the flexibility to process blends of feedstocks resulting in increased efficiency, reduced operating costs, and lowered environmental impact.”
The renewable fuel industry faces challenges related to feedstock availability, pricing fluctuations and market demand.
By 2030, vegetable oils are projected to account for over 40% of global feedstock used in renewable diesel and SAF production.
