Saudi Aramco Total Refining and Petrochemical Company (SATORP) has successfully completed the first conversion of used cooking oil (UCO) into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, as reported by Biofuels International.

SATORP, a joint venture between global state oil company Saudi Arabian Oil Company (Saudi Aramco) – holding a 62.5% stake – and global energy company TotalEnergies, completed production of the fuel last August. The Fluid Utilization System (SAF) met the quality parameters. This occurred within specifications, using UCO co-processing in the refinery's low-pressure hydrogen desulfurization unit (LPHDS). These results were detailed in the November 1 report.

The refinery in Jubail, Saudi Arabia, has received International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC+) for the production of SAF. The refinery is ready to meet the projected increase in SAF demand in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, as mentioned by Biofuels International.

Francois Good, senior vice president of refining and petrochemicals at TotalEnergies in Africa, the Middle East and Asia, said the project reflects the company's commitment. TotalEnergies currently aims to produce 1.5 million tonnes/year of SAF by 2030. The development of SAF is aligned with the company's climate goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, Good added.
