Praj Industries announced its collaboration with Gevo, Inc, USA to offer technology for production of high energy renewable aviation jet fuels.
The company signed a construction license agreement (CLA) with Gevo, Inc, USA dated 4 April 2019, to commercialize technology for the production of Isobutanol using sugar-based feedstocks, such as juice, syrup and molasses.
According to the CLA, Praj Industries will provide services in the field of engineering procurement and construction (EPC) to third parties using Praj’s process design package. This package uses Gevo’s proprietary biocatalyst (of Isobutanol) on sugar-based feedstocks. Isobutanol derived from this proprietary process is an intermediate high-energy renewable product that can be used in aviation and racing cars.
Praj also signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Gevo Inc. to market Gevo’s renewable hydrocarbon products. This includes Gevo’s renewable alcohol – to – jet fuel (“ATJ”) and isooctane, which is derived from Gevo’s renewable isobutanol.
Gevo is a “low – carbon” fuel company that focuses on developing and marketing renewable alternatives to products based on petroleum.
Praj Industries is a supplier of bio – energy process solutions with a diversified portfolio offering integrated solutions for bio – energy, high purity water, zero liquid discharge systems, critical process equipment & skids, and brewery plants.
