In New York, Airport Technology reported that Syzygy Plasmonics has announced the start of front-end engineering and design (FEED) with Kent for NovaSAF, which is claimed to be the “world’s first” electrified biogas-to-sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) facility. Located in Durazno, Uruguay, the plant will produce more than 350,000 gallons of ASTM D7566-compliant SAF annually, using cow manure-derived biomethane, CO2, renewable electricity, and steam as feedstocks. The facility will integrate biogas and Power-to-Liquids technologies, utilizing waste as feedstock to minimize water consumption and achieve an estimated carbon intensity reduction of more than 80% compared to traditional Jet-A fuel, according to the report. The project is expected to reach a final investment decision in the fourth quarter of 2025, with commercial operations slated for the first quarter of 2027, it added.
