Topsoe on June 17 announced Braya Renewable Fuels’ biorefinery in Come By Chance, Newfoundland, is now successfully operating and producing renewable diesel at design capacity. The facility, which utilizes Topose’s HydroFlex technology, is also expected to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in the future.&nbsp;The Braya facility is a former oil refinery. Braya in February 2024 <a href="https://biomassmagazine.com/articles/braya-renewable-fuels-begins-commercial-operations">announced</a> its project to convert the refinery to produce renewable fuels was complete and that operations had commenced. According to Topsoe, the facility is now operating at full design capacity.&nbsp;The facility currently has the capacity to produce 18,000 barrels per day of renewable diesel. Braya previously announced plans to expand production capacity in the future and add capability to produce SAF. The company is also exploring the possibility of adding green hydrogen production capacity at the site.Topsoe’s HydroFlex technology converts renewable feedstocks, such as animal fats, food waste and plant oils, into high-quality renewable diesel and SAF. In its June 17 announcement, Topsoe confirmed that the Braya facility is set up for an easy transition to SAF using Topose’s licensed technology.&nbsp;“It was a true pleasure for Topsoe to collaborate with the impressive Braya team during the past several years culminating recently with a smooth and successful start-up of the revamped refinery units,” said Henrik Rasmussen, managing director, the Americas, Topsoe. “We are excited to continue working with Braya’s operation and engineering teams to further increase the capacity during phase two.”“Topsoe contributed world class technology and a team of experienced and dedicated professionals to our project,” said Todd O’Malley, CEO of Braya Renewable Fuels. “Their collaboration was key to Braya’s successful implementation and commissioning of the Come By Chance facility.”&nbsp;
