End-to-end SAF Technology Alliance

A leading collaborative initiative to transform waste feedstock into synthetic aviation fuel (SAF) using an end-to-end and integrated solution from feed to product.

Harness the untapped potential of waste materials for SAF
Logos of the companies that form the SAF Technology Alliance: Honeywell Technologies UOP, Johnson Matthey, Gidara Energy and Samsung E&A
Energy-transition leaders Honeywell Technologies UOP, Johnson Matthey, GIDARA Energy and SAMSUNG E&A have come together to empower project developers and refiners with accessible, scalable and efficient solutions to harness the untapped potential of waste materials and convert them into renewable energy sources like SAF. The joint initiative creates an end-to-end SAF solution, from feed to product, leveraging the collective strengths of each collaborator. This integrated solution can reduce time between initial engagement and facility start up by more than 15%, resulting in 5-10% capital cost savings*

Operational benefits

  • Centralized Responsibility: One entity (EPC) oversees the entire project lifecycle—from design to commissioning—ensuring streamlined communication and decision-making
  • Performance Assurance: A single point of accountability guarantees project outcomes and reduces risk for stakeholders
  • Reduced Complexity: Minimizes coordination challenges across multiple vendors or contractors

Bankable financial benefits

  • Financial Credibility: Backed by financially stable and reputable collaborators, increasing investor confidence
  • Cost Efficiency: Integrated and modular approaches can reduce capital expenditure and operational costs
  • Faster ROI: Shorter project timelines mean quicker revenue generation and improved financial performance
  • Quantified Savings: Theoretical models show up to 15% schedule reduction and 5–10% cost savings* when modularization is applied during the EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) phase

  • GIDARA Energy HTW® Gasification Process

    The most established method for converting waste-based feedstocks into syngas to produce fuels and chemicals.

  • JM HyCOgen™ Reverse Water Gas Shift (RWGS) and FT CANS™ Technologies

    Maximizes carbon utilization, and boosts SAF production to over 250%, helping improve the scalability of synthetic fuel production.

  • SAMSUNG E&A AHEAD Project Delivery

    An innovative redesign of the conventional project execution method. This model is based on the Engineering Data Platform (EDP) and brings intelligence and automation to all areas of engineering, procurement and construction (EPC).

  • Honeywell Technologies UOP FT Unicracking™

    Converts Fischer-Tropsch (FT) liquids and waxes from waste into ASTM-approved synthetic aviation fuel, producing 3-5% more SAF, reducing by-product waste and achieving up to 20% cost reduction compared to other commonly used FT-hydrocracking methods.
