Syzygy Plasmonics has initiated the FEED phase for its NovaSAF 1 plant in Durazno, Uruguay, projected to produce over 350,000 gallons of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) annually. The facility will employ biomethane from cow manure, renewable electricity, and steam, adhering to ASTM D7566 standards.
Backed by agreements with Estancias del Lago, it aims for a final investment decision by Q4 2025 and commercial operations in early 2027. The design utilizes Syzygy's NovaSAF technology, targeting a SAF yield significantly higher than conventional methods and designed to meet international SAF standards. The project's implications include potential cost parity with traditional jet fuels, enhancing aviation decarbonization efforts.
