Public notice on the environmental impact assessment for Anhui Yisheng New Energy’s 200,000 tons/year bio-jet fuel production facility. Recently, the environmental impact report for the technical upgrade project of Anhui Yisheng New Energy Co., Ltd.’s 200,000 tons/year bio-jet fuel production facility was officially made public for review. Founded in 2020, the company is located in the Dingyuan Salt Chemical Industrial Park in Anhui Province, covering an area of 103 mu. It is primarily engaged in the research, development, and production of biomass liquid fuels. The company’s existing “300,000 tons per year biodiesel project (Phase I)” was registered in October 2020, received approval for its environmental impact assessment in April 2021, and was completed in 2024, resulting in an actual production capacity of 166,300 tons of biodiesel per year; trial production took place from April to the end of May of the same year. Affected by the EU’s anti-dumping investigation into Chinese biodiesel products, companies have faced obstacles in exporting their products, and the production of the original projects has encountered bottlenecks. To adapt to market changes, the company has decided to invest 380 million yuan in upgrading its existing biodiesel production facilities, in order to build a facility capable of producing 200,000 tons per year of biojet fuel. This technical improvement project was registered with the Dingyuan County Bureau of Industry and Information Technology on February 28, 2025. In August 2025, the company received some market orders; it resumed trial production in September of the same year, and on January 8, 2026, it passed the expert review for environmental protection compliance upon completion. The technical upgrade project transforms the existing biodiesel production facility with an annual capacity of 166,300 tons into one capable of producing 127,000 tons of biojet fuel per year, while also generating 32,700 tons of light biodiesel as a by-product. Using palm oil and used cooking oil as raw materials, the project produces bio-jet fuel that can be used as a fuel additive for aviation turbine engines, through processes such as raw material pretreatment, hydrodeoxidation, hydroisomerization, and product distillation. This technological upgrade not only increased the added value of the products but also further promoted the recycling of used oils and fats as well as the low-carbon transformation of aviation fuel.
