The renewable diesel HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) and renewable jet fuel (Synthetic Paraffinic Kerosene/SPK), also known as Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), will be produced at ECB’s to-be-built Omega Green bio refinery in Paraguay, with a total production capacity of 20,000 barrels per day of HVO, SPK/SAF and green naphtha. The ECB Group announced recently.

The ECB Group, led by Battistella, is Brazil's leading producer of biodiesel with an annual capacity of 828 million litres. With the contract signed, the group establishes itself as the leading future producer of HVO and SAF in the southern hemisphere, providing fuels that help drive decarbonization of key transport sectors such as aviation and road transport.

The ECB Group venture to build and operate the Omega Green bio refinery includes contractor Honeywell UOP, owner of the renewable fuel refining technology for UOP Process reactors, Crown Iron Works, a U.S. company that provides processing systems and technologies, including feedstock pretreatment technology, and Acciona, one of the world's largest engineering and construction companies.
