Wedoany.com News — Recently, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) producer XCF Global, Inc., carbon management company DevvStream Corp., and biomass energy company Southern Energy Renewables Inc. jointly announced the signing of a binding letter of intent for a merger. The plan is to create a comprehensive low-carbon fuel platform integrating production, feedstock, and carbon assets through a three-way merger.

According to the letter of intent, the merger aims to integrate XCF's production scale and commercialization speed, Southern's expertise in sustainable biomass feedstock, and DevvStream's capabilities in monetizing environmental assets. This will form a complementary asset platform covering North America and emerging markets. The platform will focus on accelerating SAF production through various technological pathways such as HEFA and e-methanol, and integrating the value of environmental attributes into customer solutions. As part of the transaction, an investor has committed to purchasing XCF shares, with the raised funds specifically allocated for completing critical upgrades to its New Rise refinery in Reno. This will enable continuous commercial production and increased output of SAF. The CEOs of all three companies stated that if a final agreement is reached, the merger is expected to create a globally competitive, U.S.-based low-carbon fuel leader grounded in actual operations. The final transaction is still subject to approval by their respective boards of directors.
