XCF Global, FlyORO sign agreement to develop global SAF supply-chain solutions

Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) producer XCF Global announced Oct. 1 that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with FlyORO Technologies Pte. Ltd., a global provider of digital modular blending solutions for SAF.

Under the MOU, XCF and FlyORO will explore the creation of a global partnership to help solve what XCF Global said is one of aviation’s biggest bottlenecks: SAF supply-chain and blending inefficiencies.

As most blending occurs upstream at production facilities, there are limitations to flexibility and scalability, according to XCF Global.

“Midstream and downstream infrastructure such as terminals or airports often lack the equipment and certification processes needed for blending,” the company stated.

Together, XCF and FlyORO intend to codevelop an end-to-end solution to enable the ready uplift of SAF.

By combining XCF’s expertise in SAF production infrastructure with FlyORO’s patented modular blending technology—AlphaLite™—designed for flexible deployment either on-airport or pre-airport, the collaboration aims to support cost-effective, compliant and scalable SAF integration into the global aviation-fuel system.

The urgency to deploy scalable SAF infrastructure has never been greater, according to XCF Global.

By 2030, the global SAF market is projected to exceed $25 billion, with worldwide demand expected to surpass 5.5 billion gallons.

As this demand accelerates, XCF Global said next-generation blending solutions such as FlyORO’s AlphaLite™ system—an innovative, flexible and low-capex technology—will be critical to bridging production with airports and fleets worldwide.

XCF said this potential partnership aligns directly with its international-expansion strategy announced in June, under which the company is pursuing a capital-efficient, modular approach to global SAF deployment through regionally tailored partnerships.

The potential collaboration with FlyORO would be expected to strengthen XCF’s ability to deliver end-to-end SAF solutions, from production through blending and distribution, across the world.

“This partnership has the potential to rewire how the aviation industry thinks about SAF deployment,” said Mihir Dange, CEO of XCF Global. “Blending isn’t just a technical step, it’s a critical piece of the infrastructure puzzle that determines how fast SAF can scale. By combining FlyORO’s cutting-edge blending technology with XCF’s global strategy, we’re creating a pathway to accelerate adoption, reduce costs and unlock new growth opportunities for investors and stakeholders alike.”

Damian Mc Loughlin, FlyORO’s chief commercial officer, added, “FlyORO was founded with the mission to eliminate barriers to SAF adoption. Our modular AlphaLite™ system makes blending more flexible, scalable and affordable. Working with XCF, we can expand this vision globally, bringing smarter logistics and faster SAF deployment to airports and airlines around the world.”

The nonbinding MOU reflects a shared vision to accelerate SAF adoption and, according to XCF, positions both companies as leaders in clean-aviation infrastructure.

Execution is subject to due diligence, technical validation and final agreements.
