Galp, a Portuguese energy company, has acquired key units for its Sines SAF/green H2 expansion project. This development is a significant milestone for the company’s pursuit of a low-carbon future. The acquired units will be used to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and green hydrogen, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and contributing to a cleaner energy mix.
As reported by Quantum Commodity Intelligence, Galp has purchased the necessary infrastructure, including underground storage tanks and piping, to support the production of SAF and green hydrogen. The company plans to integrate these units into its existing refineries, allowing for the production of 1.2 million MT of SAF and 150,000 MT of green hydrogen annually.
The Sines SAF/green H2 expansion project is a critical step towards achieving Galp’s goal of becoming a net-zero emission company by 2050. By leveraging creative approaches to utilize existing infrastructure and technologies, Galp aims to reduce its carbon footprint and support the global transition to a low-carbon economy. This development has the potential to make a significant impact on the energy sector and contribute to a more sustainable future.
