Recently, the first domestic demonstration project for biojet fuel production on a million-ton scale – the first phase of Lianyungang Jiaao New Energy’s 1 million tons per year project for converting waste oils and fats into biomass – was successfully put into operation in one go. This achievement fills the gap in China’s capacity for large-scale production of sustainable biomass aviation fuel, marking a new stage in the development of China’s biomass energy industry and holding great significance for advancing the country’s transition to green energy. The project is located in the Lingang Industrial Zone of Guanyun County, Lianyungang City, Jiangsu Province. It mainly includes: raw material pretreatment units, bio-jet fuel hydrogenation units, sulfur recovery units, hydrogen production units, tank areas, as well as utility systems such as water, electricity, gas, and air supply. The Seventh Construction Company took on the core tasks of this project, including raw material pretreatment, the biojet fuel hydrogenation unit, as well as certain works related to the substation and cabinet rooms of the combined facility. Once the project is operational, biojet fuel will be produced using domestically developed pre-treatment technologies for used oils. This type of biojet fuel is a low-carbon, environmentally friendly, and sustainable aviation fuel that can help reduce carbon dioxide emissions in the aviation industry, thus making a positive contribution to achieving carbon neutrality goals.
