Danish rendering company Haarslev has entered a marketing and investment alliance with US renewable fuel firm Grön Fuels, a subsidiary of Fidelis New Energy, PR Newswire reported.
As part of the partnership Haarslev and Grön Fuels would evaluate potential rendering by-product and investment opportunities, with Grön Fuels providing capital in exchange for product and Haarslev providing rendering equipment to the potential rendering facility, the 4 October report said.
The alliance will include North American rendering projects within Haarslev’s development pipeline across all aspects of rendering processing, according to the report.
“This new strategic alliance provides a holistic solution for rendered products with an expansive North American reach for all new and existing rendering operations, providing… value creation throughout the renderer’s business, from equipment to renewable fuels feedstock,” Greg Smith, senior vice president, commercial & logistics, at Grön Fuels, was quoted as saying.
Haarslev is a global provider of rendering and related processing technology for the meat, poultry, fish rendering and processing industries and has manufacturing facilities across America, Asia and Europe.
Grön Fuels operates a 65,000 barrels/day sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and renewable diesel plant at the Port of Greater Baton Rouge, in Louisiana. The facility processes renewable feedstocks including fats, oils, and greases, as well as emerging feedstocks such as camelina, carinata and algae oil.
The company’s GigaSystem includes biogenic carbon capture and sequestration (BECCS) and carbon negative power (CNP) facilities that is designed to further reduce the carbon intensity of the SAF and renewable diesel produced from all feedstocks.
