Novozymes Unveils Quara® LowP: A Game-Changer in Renewable Diesel and SAF Production

(IN BRIEF) Novozymes, a global leader in biosolutions, has introduced Quara® LowP, an enzymatic solution aimed at revolutionizing feedstock pre-treatment processes in the renewable diesel and Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) industry. This innovation allows for the efficient processing of HVO and HEFA feedstocks, enabling higher yields, lower operational costs, and reduced environmental impact. Quara LowP is set to drive growth and sustainability in the renewable diesel and SAF sector, which is projected to grow at a CAGR of 12% from 2023 to 2027.

(PRESS RELEASE) COPENHAGEN, 9-Nov-2023 — /EuropaWire/ — Novozymes A/S (CPH: NZYM-B), a Denmark based global leader in biological solutions, has achieved a significant breakthrough in the renewable diesel and Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) sector with the introduction of Quara® LowP, a revolutionary enzymatic solution designed to transform feedstock pre-treatment processes.

As the world increasingly seeks sustainable alternatives to conventional fuels, the renewable diesel and SAF industry has taken center stage. By 2030, vegetable oils are expected to comprise more than 40% of the global feedstock used in renewable diesel and SAF production. However, industry players have long grappled with challenges related to feedstock availability, price fluctuations, and soaring market demand.

To address these pressing issues, Novozymes has harnessed its extensive expertise in enzymatic degumming, resulting in the creation of Quara LowP. This groundbreaking solution empowers producers to process diverse feedstock blends without compromising their profitability.

Hans Ole Klingenberg, VP of Marketing, Agriculture & Industrial Biosolutions at Novozymes, emphasized the significance of this innovation, stating, “This innovation is a testament to our commitment to sustainable solutions for the renewable diesel and SAF industry. Quara LowP offers producers the flexibility to process blends of feedstocks resulting in increased efficiency, reduced operating costs, and lowered environmental impact. It is a great contribution to the industry and a reflection of Novozymes’ dedication to rethinking tomorrow,”

Key Benefits of Quara LowP:

• Enhanced Efficiency: Producers of HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) and HEFA (Hydroprocessed Esters and Fatty Acids) feedstocks can now efficiently process combinations of vegetable oils and other lipid feedstocks, boosting yields and reducing operational costs. Traditional practices involving excessive use of bleaching earth/bleaching clay to address contaminants in vegetable oils are rendered obsolete by Quara LowP’s superior and cost-effective solution.
• Economic Advantages: Quara LowP empowers producers to achieve higher yields and lower operational expenses, effectively addressing process inefficiencies.
• Environmental Impact: The industry stands to benefit from a more environmentally friendly operation, with reduced waste handling risks and lower water consumption, aligning with global sustainability objectives.

As Novozymes enters the renewable diesel and SAF industry, which is projected to experience a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12% from 2023 to 2027, Quara LowP is poised to play a pivotal role in fostering industry growth, sustainability, and efficiency.
