HollyFrontier Corp. (Dallas, Tex.; www.hollyfrontier.com) has chosen Haldor Topsoe’s (Lyngby, Denmark; www.topsoe.com) HydroFlex sustainable renewable-fuel technology to produce renewable diesel from various feedstocks.
The large renewable diesel unit will be located at HollyFrontier’s Artesia refinery in New Mexico.
Under the agreement with Artesia Renewable Diesel Company LLC, a subsidiary of HollyFrontier, Topsoe will license and supply basic engineering, proprietary equipment, catalysts, and technical services. The project is based on HydroFlex, Topsoe technology that produces renewable fuels, such as gasoline, diesel and sustainable aviation fuel, from all renewable feedstocks. The contract was awarded after an in-depth feasibility study, involving competing technologies.
“We are very proud that a market leader such as HollyFrontier has chosen HydroFlex for their strategic expansion into renewable fuels. HydroFlex is the preferred choice for refiners leading the industry transition into producing renewable fuels,” says Henrik Rasmussen, Vice President of Haldor Topsoe.
