We are proud to announce that Desmet has been awarded a new contract by LG-ENI Biorefining, a joint venture between LG Chem and ENI Italy. In collaboration with the main contractor GS Engineering & Construction, we will deliver the HVO pretreatment plant in Daesan, South Korea.
This state-of-the-art facility will feature cutting-edge technology for producing sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). This plant will have an HVO pretreatment, with an impressive plant capacity to enable a production up to 340,000 tons of SAF, biodiesel and bio-naphtha annually from a variety of waste and used oils and fats feedstocks. This project is part of LG-ENI Biorefining's commitment to advancing sustainable energy solutions and reducing carbon emissions, contributing significantly to the global effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
