Comstock Fuels targets more SAF

Elsewhere, the Digest reported that Comstock and its wholly owned subsidiary, Comstock Fuels Corp. had announced that Comstock Fuels’ biointermediate refining technology partner, RenFuel K2B AB, was awarded a Swedish Energy Agency grant of nearly $480,000 to demonstrate an enhancement of RenFuel’s patented catalytic esterification processes to refine lignin co-products from paper production into sustainable aviation fuel at increased yields compared to conventional methods.

“Breakthroughs in SAF availability are critical for achieving net zero aviation timely,” said Corrado De Gasperis, Comstock’s executive chairman and CEO. “While we are not directly participating in or receiving funds under RenFuel’s new grant, their work on this project should significantly increase the capabilities and value of RenFuel’s platform.” “Comstock’s exclusive Americas license of the RenFuel technology has already expanded and accelerated our commercialization plans. RenFuel optimizing for increased Sustainable Aviation Fuel yields is a very timely and relevant consideration in many of our ongoing commercialization objectives, especially as we prioritize opportunities for the construction of our first commercial scale biorefinery. We look forward to their progress with this grant,” the executive added.
