Vema Hydrogen signs MOU with SAF+IG
In Canada, Vema Hydrogen announced a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with SAF+ International Group (SAF+IG) to supply more than 4,000 tons per year of hydrogen beginning in approximately 2028 from its Quebec Engineered Mineral Hydrogen (EMH) project. Together, they will demonstrate a new, scalable pathway for producing synthetic SAF using Vema’s EMH, which will be designed for replication across global aviation markets.
SAF+IG is expanding beyond purely electrolytic hydrogen pathways towards EMH, a more cost-effective, low-carbon hydrogen solution. By co-locating SAF+IG’s production plant at Vema’s hydrogen facility, the project removes transportation costs and reduces supply chain risk, two of the most significant challenges facing today’s energy market. EMH will be delivered directly into SAF+IG’s process, supporting synthetic SAF production for regional airlines and future offtakers across Quebec’s emerging SAF market.
To convert that hydrogen into fuel, SAF+IG will use modular reactor technology from KHIMOD, a French climate-tech company, in what would be KHIMOD’s first deployment in North America. Its compact, modular reactor design is built to hold down production costs without sacrificing efficiency.
