Honeywell International Inc. and Summit Agricultural Group are partnering to build the world’s largest plant making ethanol-based aviation fuel, with the plant expected to open in 2025. The Summit Next Gen facility will be located in the U.S. Gulf Coast and will utilize Honeywell’s technology to transform ethanol into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), the companies announced in a joint statement.
Summit Ag has the largest corn-based ethanol plant in Brazil and is planning to use biofuel from that facility to feed the U.S. SAF factory, along with supplies from Midwest plants that have signed on to its carbon pipeline project.
