KBR will license PureSAF and provide FEED services for Keppel and Aster’s proposed sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) plant in Singapore.
The Jurong Island facility is planned for up to 100,000 tons a year, pending final investment decision and regulatory approvals.
A KBR-Keppel intent pact covers decarbonisation in waste-to-energy, plastic recycling, biofuels, SAF and AI-driven digitalisation.
Keppel and Aster announced their partnership to jointly assess the development of the facility earlier this year. The proposed plant is expected to have a planned production capacity of up to 100,000 tons of SAF per year, subject to final investment decision and regulatory approvals.
“We are looking forward to working with Keppel and Aster on this key project and to support Singapore’s ambition of becoming Asia’s leading SAF hub and advancing the ongoing efforts to decarbonize the country’s aviation ecosystem,” said Stuart Bradie, KBR President and CEO. “KBR’s PureSAF is a feedstock-flexible, bankable technology that is designed to deliver a 100% drop in jet fuel, ready to power aircraft without blending. We are constantly innovating our SAF solution to make it compatible with feedstock availability in different regions and to enable the aviation industry to transition to low-carbon jet fuel with a cost-optimized approach.”
In addition, KBR has entered into a Memorandum of Intent with Keppel’s Infrastructure Division to collaborate on decarbonization across energy transition technologies, particularly in waste-to-energy, plastic recycling, biofuels, SAF, and AI-driven digitalization.
KBR has over a 100-year history of providing clean fuel solutions and remains at the forefront of pioneering decarbonization initiatives through continuous process innovation and by harnessing low-carbon technologies to effectively reduce emissions.
