Sustainable Aviation Fuel via Alcohol-to-Jet
Bio-ethanol is catalytically dehydrated to ethylene, oligomerized toward a decene-range olefin, then hydrogenated to n-decane — a real synthetic paraffin in the SAF/jet-range carbon-number band.

The HEFA (Hydroprocessed Esters and Fatty Acids) pathway to sustainable aviation fuel and renewable diesel from fats/oils/greases: a triglyceride feed (triolein) plus a large hydrogen excess is hydrodeoxygenated (HDO) to n-paraffins + propane + water, the paraffins are hydrocracked/isomerized toward the jet range, the H₂-rich recycle gas and the HDO process water are knocked out, the light ends are stabilized, and a two-column fractionation splits the product into light naphtha, a jet-range SAF cut, and renewable-diesel bottoms.
