XCF Global and Posh Energy Sign Letter of Intent to Deploy Flex-Fuel Gensets, Expanding Clean Power and Credit Opportunities at New Rise Reno

Rhea-AI Summary

XCF Global (NASDAQ:SAFX) has signed a non-binding Letter of Intent with Posh Energy to deploy Flex-Fuel Gensets at the New Rise Reno renewable fuels facility. The innovative project aims to convert SAF and renewable diesel byproducts into zero-carbon electricity through Posh's proprietary reforming and fuel cell platform.

The project will be implemented in two phases: a 100-kW pilot deployment followed by a modular scale-up targeting up to 10-MW capacity. The system is expected to qualify for multiple incentives, including 45V Clean Hydrogen Production Tax Credits, Renewable Energy Credits (RECs), and enhanced 45Z and LCFS credits.

Located in the Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center, the facility could potentially supply renewable power to nearby data centers through wheeling arrangements, creating additional revenue streams while supporting corporate sustainability goals.

Insights

Renewable Energy and Tax Credit Specialist

XCF's partnership with Posh Energy creates a triple win: waste-to-energy conversion, layered tax credits, and improved carbon metrics.

This strategic LOI between XCF Global and Posh Energy represents a sophisticated approach to facility optimization by transforming production byproducts into valuable clean energy assets. The initiative creates multiple revenue and value layers that extend beyond simple waste remediation:

First, the Flex-Fuel Gensets will convert propane-rich byproduct streams from SAF production into zero-carbon electricity through Posh's proprietary reforming and fuel cell platform. This addresses a classic challenge in biofuel production by monetizing what would typically be a low-value or cost-generating waste stream.

Second, the project creates a stackable tax credit opportunity by potentially qualifying for 45V Clean Hydrogen Production Tax Credits while simultaneously generating Renewable Energy Credits. The strategic brilliance lies in how these credits can be deployed: either retired internally to improve carbon intensity scores of their fuels (boosting 45Z and LCFS credit values) or sold to energy-hungry neighbors in Nevada's Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center where major tech companies operate data centers with substantial clean energy requirements.

The phased implementation approach—starting with a 100-kW pilot before scaling to potentially 10 megawatts—demonstrates prudent capital allocation while allowing for technical validation before full-scale commitment. For context, a 10-MW capacity could power approximately 7,500 homes, representing a substantial energy asset.

While this remains a non-binding LOI subject to due diligence and final agreements, it highlights management's innovative approach to maximizing facility economics while simultaneously advancing sustainability goals—creating potential for enhanced shareholder value through both improved margins and expanded revenue streams.

• Transform Byproducts into Power - XCF and Posh Energy intend to deploy Flex-Fuel Gensets at New Rise Reno, converting SAF and renewable diesel byproducts into zero-carbon electricity and unlocking new revenue streams.

• Layered Credit Advantage - Hydrogen produced is expected to qualify for the federal 45V Tax Credits, while the clean power generated can reduce the lifecycle carbon intensity of New Rise Reno's fuels, boosting the value of its 45Z and LCFS credits, or be sold into the local energy grid to meet rising demand for renewable energy.

• Scalable Roadmap - The project is expected to begin with a 100-kW pilot and expand to modular 250-kW units, building toward multi-megawatt capacity.

HOUSTON, TEXAS / ACCESS Newswire / September 26, 2025 / XCF Global, Inc. ("XCF") (Nasdaq:SAFX), a key player in decarbonizing the aviation industry through Sustainable Aviation Fuel ("SAF"), announces that it has signed a Letter of Intent ("LOI") with Posh Robotics ("Posh" dba Posh Energy), an advanced clean energy company founded by Stanford alumni and backed by Y-Combinator, through its subsidiary New Rise Renewables Reno, LLC ("New Rise Reno") to explore deploying Posh Energy's Flex-Fuel Gensets at the New Rise Reno renewable fuels facility.

Posh's Flex-Fuel Gensets are expected to be installed at New Rise Reno to convert byproducts from SAF and renewable diesel production into clean, renewable electricity. Its proprietary reforming and fuel cell platform can process propane-rich byproduct streams and transform them into zero-carbon electricity. In the coming weeks, XCF and Posh plan to publish a white paper outlining how Flex-Fuel Gensets can transform byproducts from SAF and renewable diesel production into scalable sources of renewable electricity.

By integrating Posh's Flex-Fuel Gensets, XCF expects to unlock a combination of tax incentives that enhances both facility economics and sustainability metrics. Hydrogen produced by the system is expected to qualify for the federal 45V Clean Hydrogen Production Tax Credit, while electricity generated from that hydrogen is expected to produce Renewable Energy Credits ("RECs"). When used to power on-site operations, the RECs can be retained and retired to lower the lifecycle carbon intensity of New Rise Reno's SAF and renewable diesel, thereby boosting the value of the 45Z and LCFS credits.

Alternatively, the electricity and RECs can be sold into the Nevada power grid to serve the growing clean energy demands of the region's expanding data center hub. Located in the Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center, where some of the world's largest technology companies operate major facilities, New Rise Reno could supply renewable power through wheeling arrangements that help operators meet both regulatory requirements and corporate sustainability goals.

The project is expected to be rolled out in two phases:

1. Pilot Deployment: Installation of a 100-kW Flex-Fuel Genset to validate performance using New Rise Reno's byproduct streams.

2. Modular Scale-Up: Expansion of the project through a modular approach targeting a total capacity of up to 10-MW, providing significant upside in both credit capture and revenue growth.

Mihir Dange, CEO of XCF Global commented:

"XCF's mission to lead the transition to carbon-neutral aviation will be achieved not only by producing SAF, but by reducing carbon emissions throughout the supply chain to create a future-proof energy ecosystem. Teaming up with Posh Energy highlights how next-generation fuels and power can converge to deliver impact at scale. Converting byproducts into renewable electricity strengthens our sustainability profile while unlocking new revenue streams that enhance profitability, growth, and long-term shareholder value."

Wesley Zheng, Co-founder and CEO of Posh Energy commented:

"Posh Energy's Flex-Fuel Gensets are designed to convert challenging, non-standard fuel streams into reliable renewable power. Working with XCF at New Rise Reno gives us a first-of-its-kind opportunity to demonstrate how our platform can help decarbonize industrial facilities while supplying clean energy to meet the rising demand from grids and data centers."

The LOI is non-binding, and project execution remains subject to mutual due diligence, technical validation, and final agreements.
