Brazilian biofuels producer Be8 and US-based biotech company Cemvita signed a memorandum of understanding to study the technical and economic feasibility of converting glycerin into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), the companies announced on Tuesday January 21.
The companies will form a working group to conduct a study on the proposed bio-oil production process and to estimate the necessary investment for a glycerin-to-SAF raw material conversion plant in Brazil, according to the announcement.
“We are now establishing an important partnership aimed at developing a new low-carbon value chain using residual raw material for the production of SAF by converting crude glycerin from Be8’s operations into sustainable bio-oil using our technology,” Cemvita’s chief executive officer Moji Karimi said in a statement.
