Syzygy Plasmonics Outlines Dual-Certified, Cost Effective RFNBO and Bio SAF Solution as Europe Calls for Urgent Action on Net-Zero Aviation
HOUSTON, Sept. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- As European aviation leaders urge rapid action to meet net-zero targets, Syzygy Plasmonics is delivering. The company's NovaSAF™ Pricing Framework, published today as a white paper, provides validation that its biogas to both RFNBO and Bio SAF pathway can meet the tough EU sustainability mandates and airline price targets.
Independent assessors at Peterson Solutions have confirmed Syzygy's NovaSAF1 facility is set for dual ISCC EU certification for both advanced biofuels and RFNBO, recognizing its innovative use of manure-based biogas and renewable electricity.
"We're proving that SAF can meet the toughest sustainability standards while reaching cost levels that make sense for airlines," said Trevor Best, CEO of Syzygy Plasmonics. "Our goal is to make sustainable flight the new standard, not the exception."
Why this matters
For airlines under mounting pressure to meet EU mandates, U.S. incentives, and CORSIA requirements, SAF has often been too scarce and too expensive. Syzygy's strategy promises a different outcome. By marrying low-cost biogenic feedstocks with renewable electricity, NovaSAF positions itself as a credible alternative to HEFA biofuels, which dominate the market today but are constrained by feedstock availability.
Syzygy's model hinges on hub-and-spoke production, where modular units produce Fischer-Tropsch crude from biogas, which is then upgraded to SAF at centralized hubs. The company argues the economics work at scales starting around 100,000 tons per year—small enough to be achievable, large enough to matter.
The company says NovaSAF costs can beat today's bioSAF prices in a variety of scenarios, including high feedstock cost scenarios such as $25/MMBtu for biogas or $0.15/kWh for renewable power. In Europe, SAF prices could track at $1,800/ton for advanced biofuels and $3,000/ton for e-SAF. In the U.S., incentives could bring effective pricing down to parity with fossil jet fuel, with credits adding $5–8 per gallon in value.
A call to early movers
Syzygy is actively opening structured offtake discussions now, aiming to lock in commitments as SAF mandates and ESG deadlines loom. "This is the moment to secure your future fuel supply," Best said. "Airlines that act early will gain access to scalable, compliant volumes of SAF—ensuring not just regulatory alignment, but a pathway to net zero."
