Advancing your sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) catalysts from Lab to Launch
Your catalyst development partner to rapidly scale and de-risk your path to SAF production.
Bridging the gap from breakthrough chemistry to scalable SAF production
The SAF industry is in a race to commercialize, but the path from a successful lab-scale process to an ASTM-certified product remains the single greatest challenge. Emerging Power-to-Liquid (PtL), Alcohol-to-Jet (AtJ), and Methanol-to-Jet (MtJ) pathways are still early in development, and large catalyst majors often can’t support the custom, 50 – 100 kg pilot batches needed to validate them.
This is where promising technology stalls, blocked by immense commercialization challenges:
Access to Capital-Intensive Equipment
Scaling SAF production requires 50-100 kg batches of catalyst based on scalable formulations.Â
Deep Cross-Functional Expertise
Commercializing SAF demands more than just catalysis expertise. It requires process engineers skilled in refining, fuel certification, lifecycle analysis, and techno-economic modeling.
De-Risking for Investors and Offtakers
Before committing capital or signing offtake agreements, investors and airlines need proof that your SAF process and the catalyst it relies on are not only effective but also reliable, meet ASTM specs, and can scale economically.
