Ethanol for Sustainable Aviation Fuels
Decarbonization pressures in the global aviation industry are driving demand for drop-in fuels with a lower carbon intensity than conventional jet fuel. Making a SAF product that is commercially viable at scale necessitates lower cost, highly efficient decarbonization solutions across the production pathways.
RHBs are the lowest cost route to SAF; enables SAF & upstream feedstock producers to reduce or fully eliminate scope 1 & 2 at new or existing facilities
RHBs are modular with versatile process integration capabilities to satisfy entire thermal and electric loads with a zero carbon electrification solution at scale, at the lowest cost.
Key Benefits
Baseload Thermal Power
Direct decarbonization of SAF production process; RHB captures renewable electricity and turns it into reliable baseload thermal (and electric energy with CHP) to satisfy 24/7 energy requirements.
Decarbonizing Scope 1 & 2
GHG emissions dominated by feedstock production (ex: ~¾ total emissions in ethanol to jet pathway); RHB allows deep decarbonization of entire energy scope 1 & 2 energy inputs for feedstock production
Seamless Integration
Modular RHB technology ensures seamless integration across facilities of all sizes, from small-scale ethanol plants to large-scale SAF production, ensuring scalable SAF production at commercially viable volumes and costs.
Lowest CI SAF
RHBs complement existing/ additional decarbonization efforts such as process efficiency upgrades, sustainable farming, and biogenic CO2 capture to attain the lowest CI SAF products.

Industry Challenges
Hydrocarbon fuels powering long-haul aircraft is a market that exceeds 100 billion gallons worldwide — about a third of it in the U.S. There is significant demand to replace petroleum-derived fuels with sustainable fuels
The U.S. has the capacity to produce 18 billion gallons of corn ethanol fuel. Corn ethanol delivers twice as many gallons per acre as soybean-derived fuels.
