Subject to completion of due diligence and integrated licensor work, KPS may be awarded a turnkey engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract to deliver the project facility, including an integrated performance guarantee wrap backed by a parent company guarantee.
This project is expected to produce approximately 125 Ml/year of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) with negative carbon intensity and naphtha made from woody biomass from the pine plantations in the counties surrounding Natchez in Mississippi. Upon successful execution of an EPC contract, KPS will be responsible for constructing and commissioning this first-of-its-kind facility, which includes the use of renewable power with carbon capture and storage of the plant’s by-product carbon dioxide.
Velocys continues to retain Worley as engineering partner for the development of pre-feasibility, feasibility and fully integrated technology packages for all its projects, including the planned FEED phase for this Bayou Fuels project.
