Insights
XCF Global's integration of Alfa Laval pretreatment tech enhances feedstock flexibility, reducing supply chain risk and improving operational economics.
XCF Global's strategic implementation of Alfa Laval's pretreatment technology at its New Rise Reno facility represents a significant operational enhancement for the company's SAF production platform. The technology enables XCF to process diverse waste- and residue-based feedstocks including waste oils, agricultural residues, and animal fats - creating crucial flexibility in their supply chain.
This feedstock agnosticism is particularly valuable in the renewable fuels sector where input costs typically represent 70-80% of production expenses. By maintaining flexibility across multiple feedstock types, XCF gains important insulation against commodity price volatility and supply disruptions that have historically challenged biofuel producers.
The pretreatment process delivers two key operational benefits: it allows XCF to opportunistically source lower-cost feedstocks as market conditions change, and it extends catalyst life by ensuring cleaner inputs to the production process. Extended catalyst life translates directly to reduced downtime and maintenance costs - critical factors for maintaining production economics at scale.
XCF's expansion pipeline, including additional facilities in Nevada, North Carolina, and Florida, alongside international ventures beginning with Australia, indicates the company is pursuing aggressive growth in SAF production capacity. This aligns with supportive regulatory environments, particularly the feedstock-based incentives in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act adjustments to the 45Z clean fuel production credit, which specifically advantages domestic feedstock-based production approaches like XCF's.
The partnership with Phillips 66 further strengthens XCF's domestic supply chain positioning, providing potential advantages in feedstock sourcing and downstream distribution of finished fuels. In the competitive renewable fuels landscape, these operational and supply chain advantages position XCF to potentially achieve better production economics than less flexible competitors.
Alfa Laval's proven pretreatment technology is a key component of XCF's flexible, feedstock-agnostic SAF production platform.
Expands the ability to process a wide variety of feedstocks, enabling resilience to market volatility and enhancing operational efficiency.
Strengthens XCF's ability to produce cost-efficient renewable fuels.
HOUSTON, TX / ACCESS Newswire / August 5, 2025 / XCF Global, Inc. ("XCF") (Nasdaq:SAFX), a key player in decarbonizing the aviation industry through Synthetic Aviation Fuel ("SAF") today announces it leverages Alfa Laval, Inc. ("Alfa Laval") pretreatment technology at its New Rise Reno facility. Alfa Laval, founded in 1883 and with more than 2,500 patents, is a global leader in heat transfer, separation, and fluid handling technologies. Their pretreatment technology is a key component of XCF's strategy to enhance feedstock flexibility, improve operational efficiency, and mitigate supply chain risks.
Pretreatment Technology for Feedstock Flexibility
The New Rise Reno facility is designed to be feedstock-agnostic, allowing it to process a wide variety of waste- and residue-based feedstocks. Such feedstocks include waste oils, agricultural residues, animal fats, and co-products from industrial agriculture. The Alfa Laval pretreatment process is important for preparing these feedstocks for SAF and renewable fuels production. The technology ensures that the feedstock is purified and treated to meet the stringent standards necessary for producing high-quality renewable fuels.
Mihir Dange, Chief Executive Officer and Board Chair of XCF Global commented:
"By using Alfa Laval pretreatment technology, we retain the flexibility to source a wide variety of feedstocks which enables us to stay resilient during periods of feedstock market volatility. This technology enables us to process diverse feedstocks more efficiently, supporting our goal of scaling SAF production while ensuring high-quality output."
Strategic Importance of Feedstock Agnosticism
The pretreatment process allows XCF to adapt to fluctuations in feedstock availability and pricing. Additionally, pretreated feedstocks extend catalyst life, reducing downtime associated with catalyst changeouts and improving plant uptime. This flexibility is key to XCF's ability to scale operations and maintain sustainable, cost-effective production.
"Alfa Laval's pretreatment solutions are a key component of XCF's integrated SAF platform," added Dange. "By incorporating their technology, we're creating a system that can handle a wide range of feedstocks while maintaining operational efficiency and reliability in our SAF production process."
Next Steps and Future Expansion
XCF's New Rise Reno facility is currently ramping up production of SAF, renewable diesel, and renewable naphtha. The company's current pipeline includes the development of additional sites in Nevada, North Carolina, and Florida, further strengthening its position in the renewable fuels market. XCF is also expanding its international footprint, with a Memorandum of Understanding recently signed to bring its SAF platform to Australia, and early-stage discussions underway for other international infrastructure projects.
XCF's expansion plans are aligned with the U.S. Administration's ambitions for U.S. energy independence and the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which supports domestic feedstock-based biofuels through adjustments to the 45Z clean fuel production credit. U.S. feedstocks are at the heart of XCF's ramp-up stage supply chain, which features domestically sourced feedstocks for producing its renewable fuels and is strengthened by the company's partnership with Phillips 66.
