ReCarbon Inc. and Emerging Fuels Technology, Inc. (EFT) have entered into a five-year agreement to collaborate on the development and integration of their respective technologies aimed at scaling up the commercial production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), reports Biofuels International.
This partnership combines ReCarbon’s carbon-negative syngas generation system with EFT’s advanced technology for converting syngas into SAF. ReCarbon’s system converts waste gases, including biogas, carbon dioxide, and methane, into synthesis gas, which EFT’s platform then processes into high-yield SAF. The collaboration aims to reduce both capital and operating costs, making SAF production more scalable and commercially viable.
The agreement includes integration studies, feasibility assessments, and pilot testing to be conducted at EFT’s research and pilot facilities in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Jay Kim, CEO and founder of ReCarbon, called the agreement a pivotal moment for the clean energy economy. “ReCarbon has developed a foundational technology for the emerging climate-positive economy. We are excited to partner with EFT, a global leader in Fischer-Tropsch technology, to accelerate the deployment of our SAF production capabilities and help restore the Earth,” Kim said.
Mark Agee, vice president of business development at EFT, highlighted the global potential of the partnership. “This agreement represents a significant opportunity to advance SAF projects in the U.S. and around the world,” Agee said. “Our ability to produce SAF from various feedstocks positions us to offer cost-effective solutions for the aviation fuel industry.”
This collaboration is part of a broader effort within the energy and aviation industries to develop more sustainable alternatives to conventional jet fuel, as demand for environmentally friendly transportation options grows.
