  • CapEx: $9.2 billion
  • Jobs: 5,585 new (1,025 direct, 4,560 indirect)
  • Product: Renewable diesel, sustainable aviation fuel, green hydrogen
  • Location: Port Allen, West Baton Rouge / Capital Region
  • Project overview:
    • World’s largest renewable fuels project will have daily production capacity of 65,000 barrels per day, or nearly 1 billion gallons per year, of sustainable aviation fuel, renewable diesel, green hydrogen and naphtha (a bio-plastics feedstock).
    • The complex can store an estimated 380 million tons of carbon dioxide, enough to sequester decades of emissions from the production facility.
    • The system includes a carbon-negative power plant, which will use biomass to generate up to 280 megawatts of power.
    • The facility is designed to use forestry waste, agricultural residue, hurricane debris, fats, oils, greases and emerging feedstocks such as carmelina, carinata and algae oil.

Grön Fuels, Louisiana
Sponsor: Fidelis
Process: Grön Fuels GigaSystem
Feedstock: Waste and others
Location: Port of Greater Baton Rouge, Louisiana

SAF production: 2025
2025 production: 1 billion gallons per year (65,000 barrels per day) of SAF, renewable diesel, and other low carbon products
Customer: JetBlue

Fidelis says that vertically integrating three proven decarbonization components to produce carbon negative SAF, the Fidelis-owned high-capacity carbon sink is expected to permanently sequester roughly 5 million tons of biogenic CO2 per year from the facility.

SAF from the Grön Fuels GigaSystem is designed to achieve negative lifecycle carbon intensity by integrating carbon capture & sequestration (CCS) and biomass energy with CCS (BECCS).

Grön Fuels also plans to capture waste process heat to generate power and produce biogas from byproducts.

Bengt Jarlsjo, Fidelis Co-Founder and COO said in 2022, “The aviation industry continues to increase its demand for SAF with JetBlue leading the way.

There are many factors that could cause actual outcomes or results to differ materially from those indicated in any forward-looking statement. The announcement was huge news for Baton Rouge, but not much has been shared about the facility’s development as of late.

In emails sent to Business Report staff this week, Fidelis New Energy President and COO Bengt Jarlsjo provided an update on how the project is coming along.

According to Jarlsjo, the facility’s original design has been adapted to align with the new regulatory landscape created by the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.

The IRA “introduced substantial benefits to the project,” incentivizing the production of sustainable aviation fuel as well as the production of clean hydrogen through the utilization of FidelisH2, a patented technology that enables the production of lifecycle carbon-neutral hydrogen from natural gas and renewable energy.

Fidelis New Energy is currently working toward a final investment decision with its partners as it awaits finalized IRA rules from the federal government.

“We now have a build-out path that enables the start of the construction and independent operations of the [sustainable aviation fuel] production portion of Grön Fuels while enabling the additional values of the FidelisH2 technologies to be added after the IRA rules that impact them are finalized,” Jarlsjo writes.

While the facility was originally expected to begin production in 2025, Jarlsjo writes that it is now expected to be operational in 2027 based on current equipment lead times.
