April 24, 2025 [Biodiesel Magazine]- TotalEnergies on April 22 announced plans to reconfigure the petrochemical operations at its refinery in Antwerp, Belgium. One planned change will add sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production capacity via coprocessing.

According to TotalEnergies, an initial SAF project at Antwerp is expected to create 50,000 tons of annual SAF production capacity. SAF will be produced via coprocessing, a production method that enables the simultaneous treatment of hydrocarbons and biomass in a conventional refining unit. SAF production is currently expected to begin later this year.

Other planned changes at the Antwerp facility include those related to green hydrogen production, process electrification and battery-based energy storage.

Due to overcapacity, TotalEnergies also said it plans to stop operating the oldest steam cracker at the Antwerp facility. That change is currently expected to be implemented by the end of 2027.
