Avalon BioEnergy has recently announced the launch of Latin America's first fully integrated agriculture-sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) biorefinery in Uruguay. This pioneering initiative is set to make a substantial impact on reducing emissions from air travel, offering an impressive 80% reduction compared to traditional fossil fuel-based jet fuels. The project's innovative concept involves the cultivation of proprietary non-edible oil seed crops alongside green hydrogen production through solar-powered electrolysis, facilitating the establishment of a sustainable and low-carbon SAF supply chain. This approach not only aligns with global efforts to decarbonize the aviation sector but also ensures that there is no competition with food commodities for energy use. The endorsement from the Uruguayan government marks a crucial milestone for the establishment of Uruguay's first SAF facility, with Irshad Ahmed, the president & CEO of Auris-Avalon Group of Companies expressing honor and excitement about positioning Uruguay as a leader in SAF production. The ambitious $380 million project aims to set up a 100,000 MT per year SAF production facility utilizing the Hydrotreated Esters and Fatty Acids (HEFA) process. Designated as a high-impact clean energy initiative of national interest, the SAF biorefinery not only focuses on sustainable fuel production but also aims to contribute to global net-zero objectives and regional economic growth by leveraging non-edible oil seed crops for a sustainable feedstock supply chain.
