Abstract
A process for the production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) with low carbon intensity. The jet fuel is produced from the reaction of hydrogen from the electrolysis of water with captured carbon dioxide. The hydrogen and carbon dioxide are reacted to product a stream comprising carbon monoxide. Hydrogen and carbon monoxide are reacted to produce n-alkanes. Alkanes are hydroisomerized to produce sustainable aviation fuel with low carbon intensity.
Claims10
A process for the production of synthetic paraffinic kerosene comprising:
- a. using low carbon electricity in an electrolyzer to convert an electrolyzer feedstock comprising water to a first electrolyzer product stream comprising hydrogen and a second electrolyzer product stream comprising oxygen;
- b. mixing at least a portion of the first electrolyzer product stream with carbon dioxide to produce an RWGS reactor feed stream;
- c. feeding the RWGS reactor feed stream to an RWGS reactor to produce an RWGS product stream comprising hydrogen and carbon monoxide;
- d. feeding at least a portion of the RWGS product stream to an LFP reactor to produce an LFP hydrocarbon product stream;
- f. feeding at least a portion of the LFP hydrocarbon product stream to a catalytic hydroisomerization unit to produce a hydroisomerization product stream that is fed to a hydroisomerization separation unit to produce at least two hydroisomerization products wherein at least one of the hydroisomerization products streams meets ASTM D7566-21.
