On April 25, 2025, Zhongneng Yida (Hebei) New Energy Co., Ltd. and Topsoe officially signed a process technology transfer contract in Shijiazhuang City, and the two parties will work together to build a 400,000 tons/year bio-jet coal plant in Shenze County, Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province.

Under the witness of Mayor Ma Yujun of Shijiazhuang, Vice Mayor Li Weijun, Danish Ambassador to China, Wang Jianfeng, Secretary of the Shenze County Party Committee, and Hao Yingpeng, County Mayor, the two sides started in-depth cooperation in the field of sustainable energy and injected new impetus into the global energy transition.

The project is located in Shenze Economic Development Zone. In recent years, with significant policy support, superior geographical location and excellent business environment, Shenze County's regional competitiveness has continued to improve. Under the background of the global strategy of "carbon peak and carbon neutrality", bioenergy, as a key pillar of the national energy layout, has become the core direction of the future industrial development of Shenze County. The project is jointly promoted by Zhongneng Yida (Hebei) New Energy Co., Ltd. and Topsoe of Denmark, and the two sides fully integrate resource advantages and cooperate in depth. After the project is completed and put into operation, it is expected to achieve an annual sales revenue of 5.5 billion yuan, which will inject strong impetus into regional economic development.

Zhongneng Yida (Hebei) New Energy Co., Ltd. finally selected Topsoe Hydroflex technology after a comprehensive evaluation of major international and domestic HEFA hydrogenation™ patent technology licensors. At present, Topsoe has successfully licensed and transferred more than 65 units in the global renewable fuels sector, maintaining its leading market share in the world.

During the meeting, Danish Ambassador to China said that this year marks the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Denmark, and it is of great significance that the two sides have jointly launched this important cooperation in this year of special significance. Topsoe's advanced technology converts grease into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and contributes to the green development of the aviation industry. China has obvious advantages in the energy market and industrial support, and complements Denmark's technology to jointly promote the implementation of projects. This is crucial for the green transformation of the aviation industry in China and globally. The signing of this agreement marks a new stage of cooperation between the two sides, which will not only provide clean fuel for China's aviation industry and help achieve the "dual carbon" goal, but also add a strong touch to the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Denmark, and become a new model of cooperation between the two countries.

Yang Dajun, President of Topsoe (China), said that it is a great honor for Zhongneng Yida to choose Topsoe's technology and services from several outstanding technology companies around the world, which once again confirms Topsoe's world-leading market position and technical capabilities in the field of sustainable aviation fuel! Shenze County, Shijiazhuang, where the project is located, is less than 300 kilometers away from Daxing Airport and Capital Airport, and has unique advantages and is the first large-scale sustainable biofuel plant in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei. The implementation and smooth implementation of this project will certainly play a leading and exemplary role in the low-carbon and high-quality development of the entire aviation industry. Topsoe has always been committed to providing high-quality development solutions for global customers, relying on continuous innovation of the world's leading process technology, and deepening exchanges and cooperation with partners. Through the cooperation with Zhongneng Yida, it will further promote the development of China's sustainable bio-jet fuel industry and help China achieve the "dual carbon" goal.

Guo Jihui, general manager of Zhongneng Yida (Hebei) New Energy Co., Ltd., said that we will rely on the industrial chain resources of Shenze County's industrial-grade mixed oil, biodiesel, bio-aviation kerosene, refined oil and other bioenergy advantages, deeply cultivate the field of high-value utilization of renewable oil, and build a green and low-carbon full-chain competitiveness - from the recycling of raw material collection and storage, to the technological innovation of bio-jet fuel processing and transformation, and then to the low-carbon empowerment of high-end product production, to help Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and build a renewable oil industry cluster. In the future, the company will anchor the development goal of "becoming a global leader in the field of jet fuel hydrogenation", build a smart green factory with Topsoe's HydroFlex™ process as the core technology support, and provide high-quality bio-jet fuel through digital management and process innovation.(This article is from the official website of Seetao www.seetao.com.
