What is KBR's role in the Singapore SAF project, and which technology will it deploy?

KBR will provide technical licensing and front-end engineering design (FEED) services for the planned sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) plant on Jurong Island, Singapore, and will deploy its PureSAF technology — originally developed by Swedish biofuel company Aster Chemicals & Energy — to enable ethanol-to-jet fuel conversion.

Why is this project considered a milestone for SAF development in Asia?

This project is described in the news as 'the first commercial-scale ethanol-to-jet fuel project in Asia', marking a significant milestone due to its scale (100,000 tonnes per year), use of feedstock-flexible PureSAF technology capable of producing drop-in SAF that fully replaces conventional jet fuel without blending, and its strategic positioning within Singapore’s ambition to become Asia’s leading SAF production hub.
