Syzygy Plasmonics, a global leader in light-driven chemical reactor technology, on March 3announced a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Geo bio gas&amp;carbon, Brazil's foremost sugarcane and ethanol waste to biogas developer and operator, to develop commercial-scale sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) projects in Brazil. This collaboration marks a significant step in Syzygy's global NovaSAF expansion, joining a series of recently inked international agreements aimed at building scalable biogas-to-fuel infrastructure to meet the soaring demand for SAF.The agreement with Geo will leverage the company's deep expertise in operating biogas assets paired with Syzygy's proprietary, electrified GHG e-Reforming technology to convert biogas derived from sugarcane crop residues into SAF and other low-carbon fuels in Brazil. Initial efforts will target sites capable of producing up to 100,000 metric tons per year, with an envisioned final aggregate scale exceeding 525,000 metric tons per year.Unlike traditional single-asset agreements, this MOU establishes a portfolio-style development approach. The companies will work together to identify biogas sites and develop multiple commercial scale SAF plants from Geo's extensive network of existing and planned facilities across Brazil. This strategic move positions both companies to lead in Brazil's emerging SAF market and meet increasing demand fueled by government-mandated blending requirements.The Geo collaboration is the latest in a string of international partnerships for Syzygy, demonstrating the rapid acceleration of its global footprint and its commitment to unlocking stranded biogas resources. These collaborations span across key biogas and renewable electricity hubs including:<ul><li>United States:&nbsp;Syzygy has signed an MOU with&nbsp;NorthStar Renewable Fuels, LLC.&nbsp;which is headed by industry veterans&nbsp;<a href="https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4631223-1&amp;h=2826767156&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Fin%2Fjim-cowhey-5a61a212%2F&amp;a=Jim+Cowhey">Jim Cowhey</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4631223-1&amp;h=1837839920&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Fin%2Fedward-hennessey-9ba81369%2F&amp;a=Ed+Hennessey">Ed Hennessey</a>.

"The aviation industry's path to net-zero depends on our ability to transform diverse, often overlooked feedstocks into high-value fuel at an industrial scale. By partnering with Geo, Islonias, and Northstar, we are demonstrating to the aviation industry that wasted biogas is an abundant, under-utilized resource that can reshape global SAF production."These agreements establish a clear pathway toward large scale projects and commercialization for the company. By building a diverse, international pipeline of projects, Syzygy is creating a repeatable commercial engine needed to meet the aviation industry's urgent decarbonization milestones.For more information visit:&nbsp;<a href="https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4631223-1&amp;h=3285172842&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.plasmonics.tech%2Fhome&amp;a=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.plasmonics.tech%2Fhome">https://www.plasmonics.tech/home</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;
