NEXTCHEM awarded a contract for early engineering works and proprietary equipment supply for a SAF plant in Indonesia, building on the earlier licensing and PDP awards and leveraging its proprietary NX PTU and NX SAF BIO technologies
The plant is designed to produce 60,000 tonnes per year of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) entirely from domestic bio-feedstocks
The award supports the development of Indonesia’s SAF industry
Milan, 01 April 2026 – MAIRE announces that Nextchem, through its subsidiary KT Tech, has been awarded a contract for early engineering works and proprietary equipment supply for a SAF plant under development in North Sumatra Province, Indonesia.
The plant is designed to produce 60,000 tonnes per year of SAF with high efficiency using palm oil mill effluent (POME) as primary feedstock, as well as certified used cooking oil enabling the valorization of locally available resources and supporting the deployment of economically viable SAF solutions.
The project will leverage Nextchem’s proprietary NX PTU™ and NX SAF™ BIO technologies, which have already been licensed for the initiative. The early engineering works will support the Final Investment Decision for the project, which represents a concrete step towards the adoption of advanced, low‑carbon technologies in the aviation sector.
Fabio Fritelli, Managing Director of Nextchem, commented: “This award further confirms the strong market interest in our proprietary SAF technologies. This project represents a tangible opportunity to support the decarbonisation of the aviation sector in Southeast Asia, while reinforcing our positioning as a global technology provider for sustainable fuels.”
