The tender is for a plant that can produce 1.5+ L/h of sustainable aviation fuel to Jet A1 ASTM specification. The procurement is divided into four lots, with various modules under each lot. The tender is currently active with a contract period starting on 1st November 2022 and ending on 31st May 2023. This tender by The University of Sheffield presents an opportunity for businesses involved in zero-carbon energy, hydrogen, bioenergy, and Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) industries. Companies specializing in research, testing, and scientific technical simulator services would be well-suited to compete. The procurement method is an open procedure, and the tender period ends on 18th October 2022. The contract terms allow for electronic ordering and invoicing. ## Notice The University of Sheffield's Translational Energy Research Centre (TERC) is one of the largest and best equipped national R&D centres in Europe for zero-carbon energy, hydrogen, bioenergy, and Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS). We are looking to procure a sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) pilot plant based on Fischer-Tropsch technology. The SAF plant is required to produce 1.5+ L/h of sustainable aviation fuel to Jet A1 ASTM specification D1655 (with flash point of 38+degC and a freeze point maximum of -47degC). The plant shall utilise onsite CO2 (minimum2 / 8 as an industrial gas, but preferably CO2 captured onsite from bioenergy exhaust gases) and on-site generated green H2 as feedstocks. It shall also have the option to use biomass syngas from an onsite wood gasifier. This tender is made up of 4 distinct lots, comprising of 6 individual modules: ### Lot Information Lot 1 (x 3 modules) The University of Sheffield's Translational Energy Research Centre (TERC) is one of the largest and best equipped national R&D centres in Europe for zero-carbon energy, hydrogen, bioenergy, and Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS).
