Raw Material organic residues and waste streams  
Input 1 Non-recyclable mixed waste, including unrecoverable plastic (360,000 t/y )  
Output 1 sustainable aviation fuels SAF (60,000 t/y )  
Output 2 various chemicals  
Output additional information 80000 t/a renewable products - 75% could be SAF, remainder for road fuels and chemicals production  
Additional Information
Technology Brief The project would process up to 360 000 tonnes per annum of recycling rejects and produce up to 80 000 tonnes of renewable products, of which around 75 percent could be SAF and the remainder used for road fuels or to feed circular chemicals production. The combination of Enerkem’s technology with Shell’s FT technology is an “exciting and promising” pathway – Enerkem’s platform creates ultra-clean syngas from waste while Shell’s FT technology can upgrade this syngas to SAF.  
Additional Information The consortium partners behind to proposed Rotterdam waste-to-chemicals (W2C) project in the Netherlands have decided to repurpose the project to waste-to-jet and expect to submit a revised project permit application by the end of 2021. The decision is based on substantial targets and demand for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), expected support for recycled carbon fuels, and a full scope ‘in-house’ technical solution to be provided by Enerkem and Shell.
