SAFasia and EET sign Philippines SAF agreement

news item image
SAFasia and Emerging Fuels Technology (EFT) signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) supporting the development of multiple sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) projects throughout the Philippines.
These projects will utilise biogas produced from agricultural waste as feedstock and incorporate an innovative e-Reformer developed by the German company Caphenia.
Caphenia's Plasma-Boudouard Reactor technology efficiently converts both methane and CO₂ in biogas into synthesis gas (syngas) with exceptionally high conversion rates. EFT's proprietary Technology Platform then converts this syngas into SAF with the highest yields in the industry.
This unique combination of technologies will serve as the foundation for a series of SAF production plants that SAFA is planning to deploy across the Philippines and Southeast Asia.
The MOU outlines the intent to establish a comprehensive MLA, covering a wide range of activities including process integration studies, feasibility assessments, and pilot testing at EFT's research and pilot facilities in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Ditmar Gorges, managing director of SAFasia, stated: "We are very pleased to formalise our collaboration with Emerging Fuels Technology, integrating their expertise alongside Caphenia's state-of-the-art reformer system into our projects.
“This MoU represents a significant step forward in advancing cost-effective and carbon-efficient SAF production in the Philippines, laying the groundwork for a transformative approach to sustainable fuel development.
“At the heart of this initiative is our commitment to converting the country's abundant agricultural and animal waste into a primary feedstock source, reducing environmental pollution from uncontrolled waste disposal, and contributing to broader environmental protection efforts."
Mark Agee, vice-president, business development, EFT, added: "This agreement represents a significant opportunity to demonstrate the benefits of the combination of Caphenia's technology with EFT's technology to create a very competitive SAF capability in a modular format that is easily repeated."
