Hong Kong – 1 August, 2025 – EcoCeres, Inc., a leading pure-play renewable fuels producer, is partnering with Xiamen Airlines to collect and transport waste cooking oil from selected restaurant partners through its established supply chain. The waste oil will be processed at EcoCeres’ production plants to produce high-quality Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), a drop-in replacement for conventional jet fuel that can significantly reduce lifecycle carbon emissions.

Key Highlights of the Collaboration:

• Waste-to-Energy Innovation: By repurposing used cooking oil into SAF, this partnership promotes resource efficiency and reduces environmental waste.

• Carbon Emission Reduction: SAF produced from waste oil can achieve up to an 80% reduction in carbon emissions compared to traditional fossil-based jet fuel.

• Supply Chain Sustainability: The partnership strengthens the sustainable supply chain for aviation fuel, aligning with global aviation sustainability goals.

“Partnering with Xiamen Airlines enables us to scale the production of SAF from waste feedstocks more rapidly, supporting the aviation industry’s transition to net-zero emissions,” said Matti Lievonen, CEO of EcoCeres. “This collaboration exemplifies how industry leaders can work together to turn sustainability commitments into tangible progress.”

EcoCeres remains committed to supporting industry and regulatory efforts, including the International Air Transport Association’s (IATA) goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 and China’s dual-carbon objectives, by advancing innovative solutions for a greener future.
