HUI Selects Honeywell Technologies for SAF

Project

Agreement supports planned conversion of synthesis gas derived from non-recyclable plastic waste into sustainable aviation fuel and other lower-carbon fuels

Hydrogen Utopia International PLC (LSE: HUI), a waste-to-fuels and hydrogen company focused on turning difficult-to-recycle waste into valuable low-carbon products, announced that its subsidiary, HUI Advanced Fuels Limited (HAF), has selected Honeywell Technologies to provide licensing and process technologies for its planned sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) facility in northeast England.

Using Honeywell Technologies UOP’s FT Unicracking™ technology and Syngas Pretreatment System, featuring SeparALL™ technology, the planned facility is expected to convert synthesis gas derived from waste plastics into SAF and other valuable low-carbon fuels. Together, these established technologies provide the project with a pathway from feedstock derived from household waste, or household-like waste, having all recyclable portions removed, to finished SAF.

The agreement follows HAF’s previously announced license from InEnTec and an indicative eligibility review received Sept. 1, 2026, in connection with its application to the U.K. Department for Transport’s Low Carbon Fuels Fund.

HUI will now move on to the next stages of the project, including front-end engineering, final site selection, permitting, feedstock offtake and utility arrangements, and the pursuit of project funding. The objective is to establish the technical, commercial and financial basis required for a final investment decision by the board of directors of HUI.

Duncan Snelling, CEO of HUI Advanced Fuels Limited, said: “Selecting Honeywell Technologies UOP process solutions for our planned U.K. SAF facility is an important step in the project’s development and provides an established route for key process steps, providing surety to lenders, investors, off-takers and strategic partners. With Honeywell Technologies UOP as our technology licensor, we are able to strengthen the technical foundations of the project by drawing on its extensive experience in refining and advanced fuels. We look forward to working with Honeywell Technologies as we progress through the development and engineering, procurement and construction phases of the project.”
