EFT signs licenses tech to produce SAF with First Nations in Canada

In Oklahoma, Emerging Fuels Technology (EFT) has signed a Master License Agreement with Highbury Energy Inc. and a Site License with Wanagekong-Biiwega’iganan Clean Energy Corporation (WBCE Corp) — an Indigenous majority-owned and Indigenous-led joint venture with Highbury — aiming to produce renewable fuels from wood waste biomass feedstocks.

Coupled with Highbury’s advanced gasification technology, WBCE Corp will deploy EFT’s proven Fischer-Tropsch technology at its first biorefinery in Fort Frances, Ontario. The facility will process wood waste from local mills and produce 20 million liters of low-carbon renewable fuels, including low-carbon intensity renewable diesel and Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF).

Leading the joint venture with Highbury are 10 proactive and forward-thinking Treaty 3 Fort Frances Ontario area First Nations, further underscoring the project’s commitment to Indigenous leadership and environmental stewardship.
