Lianyungang Jiaao Enproenergy: Accelerating China’s Sustainable Aviation Fuel Industry with Global Partnerships and Export Milestones

Lianyungang Jiaao Enproenergy Co., Ltd. (连云港嘉澳恩普能源有限公司), a subsidiary of Zhejiang Jiaao Enprotech Stock Co., Ltd. (浙江嘉澳环保科技股份有限公司), has rapidly emerged as a leader in China’s sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) industry. The company focuses on converting waste oils into low-carbon fuels using advanced processing technologies, positioning itself at the forefront of green energy innovation both domestically and internationally.

In August 2022, Lianyungang Jiaao Enproenergy attracted significant international attention when BP Global Investments Ltd. acquired a 15% equity stake in the company for $49.56 million (CNY 354 million). This strategic investment marked BP’s first major SAF investment in China. The partnership is designed to accelerate the development and commercialization of SAF in China, leveraging BP’s global energy expertise and Jiaao’s technological capabilities.

The momentum continued in September 2022, when Lianyungang Jiaao Enproenergy officially launched a landmark project in collaboration with Honeywell UOP. The facility, located in Lianyungang, Jiangsu Province, is designed for an annual output of 500,000 metric tons of SAF, making it the largest single-unit SAF plant in China. The project integrates Jiaao’s proprietary waste oil pretreatment technology with Honeywell’s cutting-edge UOP Ecofining™ process and Experion® PKS control systems, ensuring the production of high-quality SAF that meets stringent international standards, including those required for export to the European Union. The plant began production in March 2025, further solidifying Jiaao’s leadership in the sector.

In April 2025, Lianyungang Jiaao Enproenergy received approval from China’s Ministry of Commerce and other authorities to participate in a “white list” export trial for bio-jet fuel, allowing up to 372,400 tons of SAF production for export in 2025. The company completed its first export shipment of 13,400 tons to Europe in May 2025. These milestones position Jiaao to benefit from China’s anticipated SAF blending mandate of 2–5% by 2030.

ADNOC Logistics & Services (L&S) has signed contracts worth $4.4 billion to build 23 new  supertankers capable of transporting low-carbon fuels like ethane, ammonia, and liquefied natural gas (LNG).

According to the  UAE’s state news agency, the deal will strengthen the country’s energy logistics capabilities and boost global energy transition efforts.

ADNOC L&S’s joint venture, AW Shipping, has signed a $1.9 billion deal to build nine Very Large Ethane Carriers (VLECs) and four Very Large Ammonia Carriers (VLACs) with  China’s Jiangnan Shipyard.

The company also invested $2.5 billion to build up to 10 LNG carriers with  South Korean shipbuilders Samsung Heavy Industries and Hanwha Ocean.

ADNOC L&S’s diverse fleet, which now consists of approximately 800 owned, operated, and chartered vessels, enables the company to provide end-to-end logistical support to the ADNOC Group’s energy supply chain and its global partners.

The company is also expanding its worldwide reach with the acquisition of Navgi8, intended to improve ADNOC L&S’s position as a global leader in marine logistics pending regulatory approval.

The acquisition will expand its presence to 15 different places across five continents and add 32 tankers to its fleet.
