Seosan, South Korea, August 4, 2025 – In a pioneering move for green energy, LG Chem and Enilive—through their joint venture LG-Eni BioRefining—have formally broken ground on South Korea's inaugural hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production facility. This strategic development takes place within LG Chem’s expansive Daesan petrochemical complex in Seosan, situated approximately 80 kilometers southwest of Seoul.
Set to be operational by 2027, the plant is designed to process roughly 400,000 tons of renewable bio-feedstock annually, including used cooking oil and other organic waste, by harnessing the cutting-edge Ecofining™ technology, a collaborative innovation between Eni and Honeywell UOP.
LG Chem’s CEO, Shin Hak-cheol, highlighted that this investment signals a deliberate shift toward a low-carbon foundation, providing both sustainable growth and robust profitability. He emphasized how advancing bio-based fuel technologies like HVO reinforces LG Chem’s global competitiveness and adaptability to emerging customer needs.
Enilive CEO Stefano Ballista added that the Seosan facility reinforces their international expansion strategy. With operational plants in Italy and the U.S., and others underway in Italy and Malaysia, this new site helps Enilive target over 5 million tons of biorefining capacity by 2030, including up to 2 million tons of SAF.
At FUGO TECH, we manufacture advanced clad plates that expertly combine:
The corrosion resistance of stainless or specialty alloys,
With the strength and cost-efficiency of carbon steel,
Created using proven bonding techniques like explosion welding or rolled bonding .
These clad plates are designed to withstand the demanding environments typical of biofuel facilities—corrosive feedstocks, high pressures, and thermal stress from continuous hydrogenation processes. Industries ranging from chemical processing to petrochemicals and energy rely on such robust materials to ensure long-term reliability and safety.
FUGO TECH's offerings include:
Stainless-steel/clad options,
Titanium cladding,
Nickel and copper alloy clad plates,
Custom multi-layer configurations tailored for high-performance applications.
These solutions are ideal for components such as pressure vessels, heat exchangers, reactors, process piping, and storage units—all of which are integral to biorefinery infrastructure.
Nanjing Fugo New Material Tech Co., Ltd. (Fugo Tech) is an ISO 9001 and PED certified manufacturer specializing in Clad Plates and Machined Components (tube sheet, baffle plate, and dish head).
FUGO delivers tailored clad plate solutions using stainless steel, nickel alloys, titanium, copper, aluminum, zirconium, tantalum, and more—engineered for high-performance & corrosion-critical applications.
Our expertise extends to cutting-edge clad plate supplier capabilities, where we utilize controlled detonation techniques to create seamless molecular bonds between dissimilar metals, ensuring unmatched durability and thermal performance. Beyond plate manufacturing, we offer integrated head forming services, shaping clad materials into precision hemispherical or elliptical heads for pressure vessels and reactors. Pioneering unique material combinations, we also produce titanium clad copper composites that merge titanium's corrosion resistance with copper's superior conductivity, ideal for specialized electrical and marine applications.
