technology. Rapid collection of large datasets to develop kinetic models, testing the effects of upsets, or identifying the most efficient catalyst can significantly speed up SAF production by supporting the retrofit of existing assets or selecting the best catalyst for new dedicated production plants.

by the operators in their economic evaluations. In general, to produce on-spec SAF, the target TLP cloud point would be lower than -25°C (-10°F). Finally, in this type of benchmark testing, it is very important to have a full characterisation of the final product properties and not rely solely on the TLP cloud point. Therefore, in the conditions of interest, it is recommended to collect larger amounts of products (~300-500 mL) to perform a distillation to characterise each specific fuel cut. It is important to know the cloud point for the renewable diesel and the freezing point for the SAF fraction to ensure that they meet the specifications of the market for which they are intended. Any additional product-specific properties such as density, flash point, or viscosity, can also be evaluated on the specific fuel cut. Conclusions The required ramp-up in SAF production can be achieved more easily and efficiently with the support of high-throughput catalyst testing
