The MoU anticipates a first project that is estimated to produce approximately 60 ktons per year (22 million gallons per year) of renewable hydrocarbons, advanced renewable fuels, and low-carbon SAF at HCS Group’s Speyer site by the end of 2024. The HCS Group manufacturing center, operated by the Haltermann Carless brand, is strategically located in the geographical center of Europe, at the Rhine river and in the vicinity of Frankfurt airport, offering excellent prerequisites for supplying customers in Europe with SAF (certified under Europe’s Renewable Energy Directive) and a portfolio of certified renewable drop-in fuels and specialty chemicals.
