XCF Global, Impact Jets sign MOU to supply private-jet market with SAF

XCF Global Inc. announced Nov. 3 a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Impact Jets LLC, a private aviation platform, to accelerate sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) adoption across the private-jet market.

Under the MOU, Impact Jets is expected to launch a “Powered by XCF SAF” program to onboard private-jet operators and clients into direct SAF purchasing through XCF.

With access to Impact Jets’ 130 existing clients, XCF will supply the fuel, manage logistics and provide verified documentation for operators and their end clients, ensuring traceability and measurable environmental impact.

This initiative is expected to bring XCF access to a premium customer segment and expand the reach of its fuel beyond commercial-airline partners.

With private-jet operators known for rapid adoption of best-in-class, reputation-enhancing technologies, XCF said the rollout would position it at the forefront of sustainability within private aviation.

As part of the collaboration, “Powered by XCF SAF” is expected to be featured prominently on the Impact Jets digital platform, including homepage visibility and a dedicated SAF education hub.

The companies will jointly launch awareness and promotional campaigns designed to stimulate sales and accelerate SAF adoption within the private-aviation community.

The U.S. private-jet market represents an attractive expansion opportunity for SAF producers.

The U.S. saw more than 3 million private flights in 2024, accounting for more than 40 percent of all global private-jet activity, and burning an estimated 2 billion gallons of jet fuel.

With general aviation responsible for roughly 8 percent of total U.S. jet-fuel consumption, or nearly 5.5 million gallons per day, the sector represents a meaningful and largely untapped market for SAF, and XCF said it intends to be at the forefront.

“Private aviation is an emerging frontier for SAF demand—a premium segment combining strong visibility with significant commercial potential,” said XCF CEO Mihir Dange. “Working with Impact Jets would allow XCF to extend the reach of our fuel to a premium customer base that values both performance and purpose. We’re not just delivering cleaner fuel, we’re transforming the experience of private flight into one of leadership in sustainability.”

Impact Jets CEO Rodney Rigg added, “Partnering with XCF would enable us to offer verified, traceable SAF solutions that deliver real emissions reduction to our customers. Together, we intend to give our members and operators a clear, credible path to reduce their carbon footprint while maintaining the performance and luxury they expect when flying private.”

The nonbinding MOU reflects a shared vision to accelerate SAF adoption throughout the private aviation market.

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