BioVeritas launches SAF technology

Sustainable fuels and biochemicals company BioVeritas unveiled its BioVeritas Process™ for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).

The BioVeritas Process leverages a three-step approach. First, a diverse range of feedstocks, such as agricultural residues and waste streams, are transformed into volatile fatty acids (VFAs) through a process of directed mixed-culture fermentation.

Second, BioVeritas’ proprietary low-energy acid recovery process extracts the VFAs, minimising energy consumption. Finally, the extracted VFAs are converted into SAF through a well-established process involving ketonization, hydrodeoxygenation, and isomerisation.

This process offers several advantages including its ability to utilise a wide range of feedstocks reduces reliance on limited resources. Additionally, the efficient acid recovery process minimises energy demand, resulting in a lower carbon footprint. By addressing these challenges, the BioVeritas Process positions itself as a promising solution to accelerate the adoption of SAF.

To expedite the commercialisation of its SAF solution, BioVeritas has appointed Alan Del Paggio as Chief Commercial Officer. With his extensive experience in the advanced biofuels industry, Dr. Del Paggio will play a crucial role in driving the company’s growth.

“BioVeritas is committed to helping the aviation industry achieve its net-zero carbon emission goals,” said David Austgen, CEO of BioVeritas. “Our technology addresses the limitations of existing SAF production methods and positions us for significant growth. We aim to contribute to closing the supply-demand gap and accelerating the transition to a more sustainable aviation industry.”

BioVeritas’ groundbreaking approach, coupled with its experienced leadership team, positions the company as a key player in the global effort to decarbonise aviation.
