Cemvita Corp. has announced an offtake arrangement with United Airlines for up to 1 billion gal. of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) from Cemvita’s first full-scale SAF plant. Under the agreement, Cemvita will supply United Airlines with up to 50 million gal./yr of SAF for 20 years.

“Since our initial investment last year, Cemvita has made outstanding progress, including opening their new pilot plant – an important step towards producing SAF,” said United Airlines Ventures President Michael Leskinen. “We face a real shortage of available fuel and producers. Cemvita’s technology represents a path forward for a potentially significant supply of SAF and it’s our hope that this offtake agreement for up to 1 billion gal. is just the beginning of our collaboration.”

Cemvita's technology has the potential to provide more reliable feedstock production with minimal land, water, and electricity needs. Furthermore, the output of eCO2 plants has the potential to be carbon-negative and Cemvita is aiming to be cost competitive with existing crop based HEFA feedstocks and fuels, which is a crucial factor for the successful adoption of any new biomanufacturing process.

“Biology is capable of truly amazing things,” said Moji Karimi, CEO of Cemvita. “Our team of passionate, pioneering, and persistent scientists and engineers are on a mission to create sustainable BioSolutions that redefine possibilities. We are thrilled to partner with United Airlines in working towards transforming the aviation industry and accelerating the energy transition.”
