Global science, technology, and engineering solutions major KBR Inc. (KBR) has announced that it has been selected to provide technology licensing and Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) services based on its "PureSAF" technology for the proposed Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) plant being developed by Keppel Ltd’s (Keppel) Infrastructure Division and Aster Chemicals and Energy (Aster) on Singapore’s Jurong Island.
Developed by Swedish Biofuels AB, the PureSAF technology is engineered for commercial-scale production by KBR and exclusively licensed worldwide by KBR.
Earlier this year, Keppel and Aster announced a partnership to jointly assess the development of a 100,000 tonnes per annum sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) facility, subject to final investment decision (FID) and regulatory approvals.
We are looking forward to working with Keppel and Aster on this key project and to support Singapore’s ambition of becoming Asia’s leading SAF hub and advancing the ongoing efforts to decarbonize the country’s aviation ecosystem. KBR’s PureSAF is a feedstock-flexible, bankable technology that is designed to deliver a 100 percent drop in jet fuel, ready to power aircraft without blending. We are constantly innovating our SAF solution to make it compatible with feedstock availability in different regions and to enable the aviation industry to transition to low-carbon jet fuel with a cost-optimized approach, said Stuart Bradie, KBR President and CEO.
In addition, KBR has entered into a Memorandum of Intent (MoI) with Keppel’s Infrastructure Division to collaborate on decarbonization across energy transition technologies, particularly in waste-to-energy (WtE), plastic recycling, biofuels, SAF, and AI-driven digitalization.
KBR has over a 100-year history of providing clean fuel solutions and remains at the forefront of pioneering decarbonization initiatives through continuous process innovation and by harnessing low-carbon technologies to effectively reduce emissions.
