JIAAO ENPROTECH Lianyungang Bio-Aviation Fuel Project: Driving The Future Of Green Energy

JIAAO ENPROTECH is committed to sustainable energy solutions and launched a 1 million tons/year sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) project in September 2022 in Lianyungang, Jiangsu Province. This project, the largest single-unit SAF production facility in China, marks a significant step toward advancing green aviation fuel.

Project Overview

Scale and Investment

The total investment of the project is 7.157 billion RMB, covering an area of approximately 640 acres. It will be constructed in two phases and includes:

Two 500,000 tons/year bio-aviation fuel production units

One 500 tons/year sulfur recovery unit

One 1,000-ton-class inland river wharf

Supporting tank farms, utilities, and auxiliary facilities

Core Technologies
The project integrates JIAAO's proprietary waste oil pretreatment technology with Honeywell's globally advanced UOP Ecofining process. This combination enables the production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), hydrocarbon-based biodiesel, and bio-naphtha. These high-value products are primarily exported to the EU as premium blending components for jet fuel, meeting the stringent standards of international aviation fuel markets.

Location and Logistics Advantages
Situated in Lianyungang, the project benefits from excellent logistics, including:

Eight inland river shipping lanes

A 2,000-ton-class inland river wharf

A 50,000-ton-class hazardous chemical liquid sea wharf berth

Efficient pipeline systems

This strategic location provides convenient raw material transport and efficient export channels, ensuring the project's sustainable operations.

JIAAO Lianyungang Bio-Aviation Fuel Comprehensive Laboratory

An integral part of the project, the JIAAO Lianyungang Bio-Aviation Fuel Comprehensive Laboratory is China's largest SAF testing center. With a total investment of 110 million RMB, it spans 3,500 square meters and houses over 150 pieces of advanced precision equipment, designed by the U.S.-based Petroleum Analyzer Company (PAC).

Core Strengths of the Laboratory

International Standards
Equipped to meet the latest domestic and international aviation fuel specifications and airworthiness safety testing requirements.

Comprehensive Quality Management System
Covers raw materials, process control, product specifications, and "three wastes" treatment, ensuring robust product quality assurance.

Advanced Testing Capabilities
Capable of analyzing 471 test points for the HEFA process, guaranteeing compliance with the highest quality standards.

Automation and Intelligence
Fully automated and digitized operations ensure high efficiency and precision in the testing process.

Significance of the Project

The JIAAO Lianyungang Bio-Aviation Fuel Project not only enables efficient utilization of waste oils but also establishes a strong foothold in the global green aviation fuel market. Its completion and operation will contribute to carbon reduction goals and promote the sustainable development of the aviation industry.

With a steadfast commitment to green development, JIAAO ENPROTECH continues to lead the industry through technological innovation, contributing to global energy transformation efforts.
