EcoCeres delivers its 1st vessel of SAF to Evos Ghent terminal in Belgium

EcoCeres Inc. announced Aug. 14 that it has delivered its first vessel with 10 million liters (2.64 million gallons) of neat sustainable aviation fuel (HEFA-SPK) to the Evos Ghent terminal in Belgium.

This marks the start of a new relationship between Evos and EcoCeres.

Evos Ghent is the first European storage partner for EcoCeres.

According to EcoCeres, Evos Ghent has a long history in the storage and handling of jet fuel.

On Jan. 1, 2023, the terminal made history with the first-ever delivery of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) through the NATO Central European Pipeline System to Brussels airport.

Leading the way in SAF logistics, Evos has taken further steps to repurpose infrastructure in Ghent and Amsterdam to meet future aviation fuels blending requirements.

Ghent is now one of the largest SAF terminals in Europe and growing, according to EcoCeres.

EcoCeres said it is playing a key role in the global energy transition, helping to decarbonize hard-to-abate industries—particularly the aviation sector—by leveraging innovation to convert waste into SAF.

This collaboration between EcoCeres and Evos helps integrate EcoCeres in the global logistics and supply chain of renewable fuels and supports the company’s ongoing growth in Europe.

“We are pleased to welcome EcoCeres, a leading producer committed to innovation in the sustainable fuels sector,” said Evos CEO Harry Deans. “Storage and distribution are critical parts of the supply chain. Evos is proud to partner with EcoCeres and support the global transition to lower-carbon aviation. This is a significant milestone for Evos Ghent and it enables further decarbonization of the aviation supply chain.”

EcoCeres CEO James Ni added, “We are thrilled to announce this collaboration with Evos, a well-established player with access to critical EU infrastructure. It allows the repurposing of existing infrastructure, securing green jobs, and providing our customers with an easy choice between fossil jet fuel and SAF. Customers can now easily opt for a fuel that offers up to 90 percent emissions reductions.”
