Syzygy Plasmonics has initiated a Front-End Engineering and Design (FEED) project with Kent for NovaSAF 1 - the world's first electrified biogas-to-SAF facility.
The site will serve as a model for scalable, low-cost sustainable aviation fuel production.
Located in Durazno, Uruguay, NovaSAF 1 will produce over 350,000 gallons of ASTM Certified SAF annually, marking a breakthrough in cost-effective, scalable clean fuel.
The project is backed by long-term feedstock and site agreements with Estancias del Lago (EDL), one of Uruguay's largest dairy and agri-energy operations.
Permitting and equipment sourcing is ongoing alongside front-end engineering work led by Kent, a world leader in SAF project development and execution.
Powered by Syzygy's proprietary NovaSAF™ platform, the facility combines the benefits of biogas and Power-to-Liquids (PtL) technologies, leveraging waste as feedstock, eliminating the need for pipelines or costly separation while achieving ultra-low water use and carbon intensity.
"This is more than just a SAF plant. It's a new model for biogas economics," said Trevor Best, CEO of Syzygy Plasmonics.
"We're unlocking a global asset class of underutilized biogas sites and turning them into high-value clean fuel hubs without pipelines, costly gas separation, or subsidy dependence. We believe NovaSAF™ represents one of the few viable pathways to producing SAF at Jet Parity and successfully decarbonising air travel."
