has announced that NEXTCHEM’s Sustainable Technology Solutions BU, operating under its subsidiary MyRechemical and known for its leadership in the Waste-to-Chemical sector, has entered into a licensing agreement with DG Fuels Louisiana, LCC. This agreement pertains to NEXTCHEM’s proprietary NX Circular gasification technology. The plant, slated for operation by 2028, will produce 450 million liters per year of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) derived primarily from residual biomass and a small portion of municipal waste.
MyRechemical has been chosen as the technology licensor for the gasification and gas treatment units, capable of processing 1 million tons annually of bagasse, sugar cane trash, and pulp. This marks the initial phase in SAF production. Under the licensing agreement, MyRechemical will supply the proprietary equipment for the gasification package, offering modular options to minimize on-site contingencies, along with associated technical services.
The project aligns with the U.S. Department of Energy’s Clean Fuels & Products Shot initiative, designed to decarbonize the aviation sector through industrialized SAF production.
Additionally, SAF derived from biomass or waste meets eligibility criteria under the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), reducing carbon offsetting requirements for airlines.
