FatHopes Energy (FHE), a key player in the sustainable energy sector, has signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) with AmSpec Group, a leading service provider in the testing, inspection, and certification (TIC) sector. This collaboration is set to significantly enhance the efficiency and scalability of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production throughout the Asia Pacific region, reports Biofuels International.
The primary goal of this partnership is to establish a comprehensive feedstock library and discovery initiative spanning Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. This will involve systematically identifying, assessing, and documenting diverse feedstock sources that can be effectively utilized in the SAF refinery currently being developed by FatHopes Energy.
Industry forecasts from Argus Consulting indicate that the Asia Pacific region’s SAF production capacity is projected to reach an impressive 3.5 million metric tonnes per year (equivalent to 77,671 barrels per day) by the end of 2025. This collaboration represents a significant step forward in the region’s ambitious drive towards increased SAF production.
By meticulously mapping the variations and performance characteristics of regional feedstocks, the agreement aims to optimize resource utilization while ensuring ethical and environmentally sustainable sourcing practices.
The agreement, which will officially commence on June 1, 2025, will also focus on assessing crucial sustainability indicators to support SAF production in the region. This emphasis on sustainability will promote responsible energy practices and contribute to broader sustainable development goals.
Under the terms of the agreement, FatHopes Energy will take the lead in the critical tasks of sourcing, collecting, and coordinating feedstock samples from across the Asian continent. The company will also be responsible for providing essential operational support for testing logistics, consolidating data, and collaborating on the development of standardized feedstock profiling formats.
AmSpec Group, leveraging its extensive expertise in the TIC sector, will provide comprehensive analytical services for the thorough evaluation of feedstocks intended for SAF production. The group will also share its valuable technical knowledge regarding both raw materials and finished SAF products. Furthermore, AmSpec will contribute to the development of an on-site SAF laboratory at FHE’s facility. This on-site lab will be crucial for ensuring strict compliance with stringent industry standards and evolving environmental regulations.
