XCF Global Inc., a key player in decarbonizing the aviation industry through synthetic aviation fuel (SAF), on July 8 provided a production update on its flagship New Rise Reno facility, underscoring that the plant has successfully produced synthetic aviation fuel, renewable diesel, and renewable naphtha during its initial ramp-up. The ramp-up process, a critical phase for all new fuel facilities, is the period after commissioning when a new fuel facility works to optimize its production gradually from initial test runs to full, nameplate capacity.
Since commercial operations began in February 2025, New Rise Reno has produced more than 2.5 million gallons of renewable fuels, demonstrating the facility's capability to deliver low-carbon fuels to market. This production milestone includes SAF, renewable diesel, and renewable naphtha, a byproduct of the production process that is a valuable blendstock and feedstock for reducing emissions in gasoline supply chains, showcasing the site's flexibility and commitment to maximizing plant utilization.
"This update is simple but important: New Rise is producing renewable fuels" said Mihir Dange, Chief Executive Officer and Board Chair of XCF. "We've already produced over 2.5 million gallons of SAF, renewable diesel, and renewable naphtha, proving that our model works. Further, this is a testament to the dedication and expertise of our team, who are focused on executing our strategy and driving the clean fuel transition."
New Rise Reno leverages a modular, patent-pending site design and integrated technology stack to enable flexible production of renewable fuels, helping the company adapt to changing market needs and maximize plant utilization. The facility can pivot between production of SAF and renewable diesel without the need for equipment or process modification.
During ramp-up, XCF's multi-product renewable fuel production mix demonstrates:
Diversification of revenue streams
Resilience to market demand shifts
Maximization of plant capacity and economics
