The combined portfolio offers new integrated routes to sustainable aviation fuel, marine fuel and other lower-carbon fuels across biomass and waste-derived synthesis gas, captured CO₂, and sugar-derived feedstocks.

  • FT CANS™ + FT Unicracking™

    Fischer-Tropsch SAF pathway

    FT CANS™ converts synthesis gas derived from biomass or municipal solid waste into synthetic crude. Honeywell UOP FT Unicracking™ then upgrades the product into SAF and other fuels.

    • Biomass and waste-derived feedstocks
    • Integrated synthesis and upgrading route
    • Modular Fischer-Tropsch technology
  • HyCOgen™ + FT CANS™

    CO₂-derived eSAF pathway

    HyCOgen™ converts captured CO₂ and hydrogen into synthesis gas optimized for FT CANS™, creating an integrated route to eSAF and other synthetic fuels.

  • BioForming® S2A

    Sugars to SAF pathway

    Developed by Virent and further advanced in collaboration with CT, BioForming® S2A converts renewable sugar feedstocks into aromatic hydrocarbons used in fuels and chemicals. The technology can produce BioForm® SAK, an aromatic component for aviation fuel that complements paraffinic SAF pathways.

    • Renewable sugar feedstocks
    • BioForm® SAK aromatic component for aviation fuel
    • Drop-in aromatic products for fuel and chemical systems
  • Methanol-to-Jet

    Sustainable methanol to SAF
