EcoCeres Inc., a premier renewable fuel producer, has initiated a strategic partnership with Evos Ghent by delivering the inaugural shipment of 10 million liters of sustainable aviation fuel blending component (neat HEFA-SPK). This milestone establishes Evos Ghent as EcoCeres' inaugural European storage partner, marking a significant step forward in the company's expansion and the broader adoption of sustainable aviation fuels.

Evos Ghent holds a history in jet fuel storage and handling. Recently, the terminal made a landmark achievement by facilitating the first-ever delivery of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) through the NATO Central European Pipeline System (CEPS) to Brussels Airport. As a frontrunner in SAF logistics, Evos is proactively enhancing its infrastructure, repurposing facilities in Ghent and Amsterdam to accommodate future blending needs for aviation fuels. This development has positioned Ghent as one of the largest SAF terminals in Europe, reflecting its growing prominence and commitment to advancing sustainable fuel solutions in the aviation sector.

EcoCeres is instrumental in the global energy transition by focusing on decarbonizing hard-to-abate industries, with a particular emphasis on the aviation sector. The company leverages innovative technology to transform waste into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), addressing the industry's need for greener solutions. This strategic approach not only integrates EcoCeres into the global logistics and supply chain of renewable fuels but also bolsters its expansion and influence across Europe, supporting its ongoing growth and contribution to a more sustainable energy landscape.

Harry Deans, CEO of Evos, expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership with EcoCeres, a key player in sustainable fuels innovation. He highlighted the critical role that storage and distribution play in the supply chain, noting that Evos is excited to collaborate with EcoCeres to advance the global shift toward lower-carbon aviation. Deans emphasized that this partnership represents a significant milestone for Evos Ghent, marking a crucial step in the ongoing efforts to decarbonize the aviation supply chain and contribute to more sustainable fuel solutions.

James Ni, CEO of EcoCeres, expressed his excitement about the collaboration with Evos, recognizing their established presence and access to vital EU infrastructure. He highlighted how this partnership will facilitate the repurposing of existing infrastructure, create green jobs, and offer customers a straightforward choice between traditional fossil jet fuel and Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). Ni emphasized that customers now have the opportunity to choose a fuel that can reduce emissions by up to 90%, underscoring the significant environmental benefits and commitment to sustainability achieved through this collaboration.

EcoCeres, a leading renewable fuel producer backed by Bain Capital and Kerogen Capital, boasts over a decade of expertise in transforming biomass into sustainable solutions. Committed to combating climate change, the company has established itself as a global pioneer in converting waste into high-value renewable fuels, chemicals, and materials.
