In Uruguay, Avalon Energy Group and Sulzer Chemtech announced the signing of a Strategic Alliance and Partnership Agreement to scale up the production of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). Under the agreement, Avalon has selected BioFlux™ technology for its portfolio of SAF projects currently under development worldwide which will lead to a commercial technology licensing agreement with Sulzer.
The partnership’s first project will be Avalon’s flagship biorefinery in Uruguay. This pioneering facility is designed to be fully integrated, from the cultivation of dedicated non-edible oilseed crops to the production of low-carbon SAF. The project will utilize oil from Camelina sativa, a non-edible crop, as the primary feedstock, establishing a secure and sustainable supply chain that avoids impact on food resources.
