Sustainable Aviation Fuels
improving efficiency, stability & environmental performance
Our chemists & engineers are serious about helping reduce greenhouse gas emissions
The Shepherd Chemical Company’s nickel octoate solutions are used as catalyst and pre-catalysts for a variety of industrial applications. Shepherd Chemical is a metal and specialty chemical company with specific expertise in olefin oligomerization catalysts, most commonly nickel carboxylates. We offer standard 8% and 10% nickel octoates and partner with our customers to customize catalysts by varying metal concentrations and/or diluents to achieve their desired performance. As the processes and demands for sustainable aviation fuels scale and evolve, Shepherd is positioned with manufacturing capacity, the willingness to invest for long-term opportunities and we have the R&D expertise to collaborate on innovation of next generation technology.
Nickel Carboxylate Pre Catalysts for SAF Oligomerization Pathways
Many SAF upgrading routes include an oligomerization step that builds light olefins into longer chain hydrocarbons in the jet range. Shepherd’s Sustainable Aviation Fuels offering focuses on nickel carboxylates, specifically nickel octoate solutions used as catalysts and pre catalysts, aligning with the our expertise in olefin oligomerization catalysts.
To support scale up, Shepherd Chemical provides nickel octoate in standardized solution strengths, including Nickel Octoate, 8% MS, with defined specs that help teams control catalyst dosing and consistency across batches.
