en.Wedoany.com Reported - Nextchem, a company under MAIRE, has signed a licensing agreement through its subsidiary MyRechemical with SUSTAERO GP Inc. to build a project in Canada that uses its proprietary NX Circular technology to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) from biomass. The technology is used in the biomass-to-syngas section of the plant, which is the first step of production.

The project plans to produce purified chemical-grade syngas from forest residues, which will be further converted into SAF. Nextchem's proprietary NX Circular process covers high-temperature gasification and melting of waste and biomass residues to produce syngas, as well as its further purification.

The plant is scheduled to commence operations in 2030, producing up to 144,000 tons of SAF annually from residual biomass, with the initial capacity having the potential to be expanded fourfold.

Regions such as Canada and Scandinavia are increasingly focusing on the sustainable value-added utilization of forest residues, which, if left on the ground, increase the risk of wildfires. Through technologies like NX Circular, abundant feedstocks can be converted into low-carbon fuels while reducing environmental risks and supporting a more circular ecosystem. SUSTAERO is developing SAF capacity in Canada from wood waste using its proprietary SOAR process and integrating Nextchem's NX Circular gasification technology. The company focuses on sustainable and reliable feedstock supply chains to support low-carbon aviation fuel production.

The agreement also includes potential scope expansion after the final investment decision (FID), involving process design packages (PDP), proprietary equipment (PEQ), technical services, and catalyst supply.
