Worley awarded FEED contract for a low‑carbon fuels project in UK

Type of post: NEWS IN BRIEF.

Worley has been awarded a front-end engineering and design (FEED) services contract by Alfanar for a low‑carbon fuels project in Teesside (UK).

Alfanar’s Lighthouse Green Fuels project will convert residual solid waste into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and green naphtha. The project will process around 1 Mtons of residual solid waste every year (municipal solid waste, refuse-derived fuel or solid recovered fuel) into around 3,200 bbl/day of SAF and green naphtha. The project aims to make fuel which produces 80% fewer GHG than current fossil fuels, which could potentially save over 300,000 tons of emissions each year. When coupled with carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology the plant could achieve in excess of 750,000 tons per year.

The plant is expected to enter commercial operations in 2027, following the scheduled start-up of the first Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) carbon cluster in Teesside. Worley will provide FEED services and develop the existing early front-end engineering package and integrate the licensor scope to provide a greater level of definition to the project.
