In the United States (US), Green Carbon Development, a renewable fuels development company led by Process Technical Services Inc. (PTS), an established technical services provider to the refining and process industries, has announced that it has selected Axens "Vegan" technology for its upcoming renewable fuels facility.
Designed for a capacity of 10,500 barrels per stream day (BPSD), the Jasper project in Texas will deploy Axens’ Vegan hydroprocessing solution to flexibly produce both sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and renewable diesel (RD).
This dual capability enables Green Carbon Development to respond to evolving market needs while maximizing carbon abatement potential across the transportation sector.
Integrating Axens’ Vegan technology with Green Carbon’s platform creates a step-change in HEFA performance. The ability to flex between SAF and renewable diesel production, coupled with our ability to reduce hydrogen demand and improve yields, gives our project a clear advantage in both economics and carbon intensity. Axens’ deep expertise and process guarantees provide the confidence we need to deliver a world-class facility, said Gary Veazey, CEO of Process Technical Services.
Strategic advantages
The Jasper facility will leverage PTS’s extensive experience in plant design, operations, and startup services, along with expertise in agricultural sourcing and feedstock logistics provided by the identified feedstock partner.
Axens will provide the technology license, catalysts, proprietary equipment, operator training, and technical services for the project.
By integrating Axens’ proven technology, the venture is positioned to become a cornerstone of the region’s clean energy economy.
With this award, Axens further strengthens its track record for Vegan technology globally as well as in the Americas. We are proud to partner with Green Carbon on the development of this critical renewable fuels project and look forward to another successful deployment of Vegan technology, said Tina Craft, CEO, Axens Americas.
