Wood wins significant
contract with OMV Petrom for sustainable aviation fuel production
in Europe
John Wood Group PLC
('Wood' or 'the Company') has been awarded a
significant contract by OMV Petrom for a major project to boost the
production of sustainable fuel in Southeast Europe.
Under the scope of this project, the
Petrobrazi refinery in Romania will become the first major
production facility for sustainable aviation fuel in the
region.
Following successful delivery of the
front-end engineering and design (FEED) for this important
project, Wood will now deliver engineering,
procurement and construction management (EPCm) to
install a new bio-hydrotreater unit and relevant
storage facilities at the refinery. This project will enable the
production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and hydrotreated
vegetable oil (HVO) utilising Honeywell UOP Ecofining™ process
technology.
SAF results in significantly lower
CO2 emissions compared to traditional fossil kerosene. The
Petrobrazi refinery upgrades and its new SAF production will
support the European Commission's goals to reach 6% SAF at EU
airports by 2030 and 70% by 2050, ultimately helping to decarbonise
the aviation industry.
Ken
Gilmartin, CEO at Wood said:
"This significant contract award
builds on our longstanding relationship with OMV Petrom. We are
proud to continue partnering with them to futureproof their
infrastructure and enable the production of low carbon
fuels.
"We have deep knowledge of our
clients' assets through decades of proven project delivery. This,
combined with our world-class engineering and execution expertise,
positions Wood to successfully complete this project and establish
Petrobrazi as the first major producer of sustainable fuels in
Southeast Europe."
