Renewable Diesel Sustainable Aviation Course

How to develop and operate a renewable diesel/SAF plant

Thanks to growing acceptance by the transportation sector and supported by commercially demonstrated, scalable technologies, renewable diesel (“RD”) and sustainable aviation fuel (“SAF”) plants are being built around the world. Leaning on years of advisory services in the sector, the course director will share his insight and real-world lessons learned for attendees interested in developing, owning, or operating a RD/SAF plant.

First held in Singapore in September 2022 to a sell-out crowd, Conference Connection is pleased to launch the 2024 series in three locations of the one-day Renewable Diesel Sustainable Aviation Course

  • Singapore
  • Dubai

The course will highlight:

  • Overview of the industry that focuses on global growth trends and regulatory drivers.
  • Basic process design discussion, leading RD/SAF technology licensors, and greenfield construction versus refinery revamp considerations.
  • Typical capital and operating expenses, feedstock sourcing costs, pretreatment options, and product pricing examples will then be used to illustrate potential economic returns.
  • Project development challenges including site selection, logistics considerations, EPC execution, and commissioning/start-up.

Primary Areas of Focus

  • Introduction & industry overview
  • RD/SAF process and competing technologies
  • RD/SAF feedstock
  • Feed pre-treatment options/technology
  • Project economics
