Syzygy Plasmonics has signed a memorandum of understanding with Geo bio gas&carbon to develop commercial-scale sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) projects in Brazil using sugarcane waste.
The collaboration will combine Geo’s biogas operations expertise with Syzygy’s electrified reforming technology to convert biogas from sugarcane residues into SAF and other low-carbon fuels. Initial projects target production capacity of up to 100,000 metric tons annually, with plans to scale beyond 525,000 metric tons per year.
The partnership takes a portfolio approach rather than focusing on a single facility. The companies will identify suitable biogas sites and develop multiple SAF plants from Geo’s network of existing and planned facilities across Brazil, positioning them to capitalize on government-mandated blending requirements.
This agreement is part of Syzygy’s broader international expansion. The company has recently signed similar partnerships in the United States with NorthStar Renewable Fuels for up to 75,000 metric tons per year, in the Dominican Republic and Europe with Islonias targeting 300,000 metric tons per year across multiple countries, and in Mexico for potential projects totaling 100,000 tons annually.
“The aviation industry’s path to net-zero depends on our ability to transform diverse, often overlooked feedstocks into high-value fuel at an industrial scale,” said Trevor Best, CEO of Syzygy Plasmonics.
The partnerships aim to convert underutilized biogas resources into aviation fuel. By building a diverse international project pipeline, Syzygy is working to meet growing demand for SAF as the aviation industry pursues decarbonization goals.
The agreements represent a significant expansion of biogas-to-fuel infrastructure globally.
