Novozymes, a global leader in biosolutions, marks a significant milestone in the
renewable diesel and SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel) industry with the launch of
Quara® LowP, an enzymatic solution designed to transform the feedstock pre-
treatment process.
Copenhagen, Denmark - 9 November, 2023. As the world seeks sustainable
alternatives to traditional fuels, renewable diesel and SAF production have
taken center stage. By 2030, vegetable oils are projected to account for over
40% of global feedstock used in renewable diesel and SAF production. However,
producers have long grappled with challenges related to feedstock availability,
pricing fluctuations, and the ever-increasing market demand.
To address these pressing issues, Novozymes has leveraged its extensive
experience in enzymatic degumming, which has resulted in Quara LowP, an
innovative solution that gives customers flexibility to process mixed feedstocks
without negatively impacting their bottom line.
"This innovation is a testament to our commitment to sustainable solutions for
the renewable diesel and SAF industry. Quara LowP offers producers the
flexibility to process blends of feedstocks resulting in increased efficiency,
reduced operating costs, and lowered environmental impact. It is a great
contribution to the industry and a reflection of Novozymes' dedication to
rethinking tomorrow" said Hans Ole Klingenberg, VP Marketing, Ag & Industrial
biosolutions at Novozymes.
A sustainable solution for a growing demand
Quara LowP facilitates the efficient processing of HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable
Oil) and HEFA (Hydroprocessed Esters and Fatty Acids) feedstocks. By pretreating
these feedstocks with Quara LowP, producers can achieve higher yields and
significantly lower operational costs, all while reducing the environmental
footprint of their operations.
This innovation holds profound significance for the HVO and SAF industry:

  * Increased efficiency: HVO/HEFA feedstock producers now have a means to
    process blends of vegetable oils with other lipid feedstocks without
    compromising yield or incurring additional operating costs. The current

practice of overusing bleaching earth/bleaching clay to address contaminants

    in vegetable oils when blending with waste oils is a thing of the past.
    Quara LowP offers a more efficient and cost-effective solution.

* Economic benefits: With Quara LowP, producers can enjoy increased yields and

    lower operating costs, overcoming process inefficiencies.
  * Environmental impact: The industry can benefit from a greener operation,
    with reduced waste handling hazards and lower water consumption, aligning
    with the global sustainability goals.

As Novozymes ventures into the renewable diesel/SAF industry, which is projected
to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12% from 2023 to 2027, Quara
LowP is set to play a pivotal role in driving the industry's growth,
sustainability, and efficiency.
