TotalEnergies and SINOPEC have signed a Heads of Agreement (HoA) to jointly develop a Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) production unit at a SINOPEC refinery in China.
The planned unit, jointly owned by Sinopec and TotalEnergies, will have the capacity to produce 230,000 tons of SAF per year and will process local waste or residues from the circular economy (cooking oils and animal fats).
Sinopec has developed its own SAF production technology, called SRJET. Total Energies, already one of Europe's leading SAF producers, will bring its experience and expertise in the technical, operational, and distribution fields. This collaboration aligns with Sinopec's strategy for the development of low-carbon solutions for refineries in China.

Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TotalEnergies, stated, “The development of sustainable aviation fuels is at the heart of our company's transition strategy, as we strive to meet the aviation industry's demand to reduce its carbon footprint. TotalEnergies has set itself a target of 1.5 million tons of annual SAF production by 2030.”
| What is Sustainable Aviation Fuel? |
| Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is a type of alternative jet fuel that is made from renewable sources, such as used cooking oil, agricultural waste, or even captured carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Unlike traditional jet fuel derived from fossil fuels, SAF can significantly reduce airplane greenhouse gas emissions. |
Sinopec is the largest petroleum refiner in China, with its refining capacity ranking second in the world. The company's refineries are mainly located in China's southeast coastal area, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and North China. The company plays a pivotal role in the Chinese oil and gas market.
The organisation owns a lot of different processing plants that can do different things, such as atmospheric and vacuum distillation, FCC, hydrocracking, delayed coking, catalytic reforming, aromatic separation, hydrofining, alkylation, gas fractionation, asphalt, hydrogen production, desulfurization, and sulfur recovery. Some refineries also have solvent deasphalting, solvent dewaxing, wax molding, solvent refining, clay refining, and lube oil hydrofining.
By the end of 2011, the company’s total processing capacity reached 249 million tons. Major production units, including FCC, delayed coking units, catalytic reforming units, hydrocracking units, hydrofining units for gasoline, kerosene, and diesel, etc., achieved a certain increase in capacity compared with the previous year.
Aramco and Sinopec have signed an agreement for a greenfield project in Gulei, Fujian Province, which plans to include a 320,000 barrels-per-day refinery and 1.5 million tons-per-year petrochemical cracker complex. It is expected to commence operations by the end of 2025. To further learn about the upcoming oil refineries in China, checkout our database.
