Sky Quarry has signed a memorandum of understanding with Southern Energy Renewables and DevvStream to develop next-generation low-carbon fuels. The collaboration focuses on integrating sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and recycled hydrocarbon production into existing refinery assets in Nevada and other project sites. This partnership combines industrial scale biomass-to-fuel platforms with carbon management and lifecycle analysis to improve the economics of clean fuel production. The goal is to transition traditional refining infrastructure into hubs for verified low-carbon energy outputs.

Sky Quarry is teaming up with Southern Energy and DevvStream to push SAF and low carbon fuels. It looks like they are trying to pivot their existing refinery assets toward cleaner outputs. Worth watching to see if they actually hit the pilot stage.

It is a non binding MOU, so we are still in the land of intentions. I am curious about the actual feedstock availability for these modular plants. If the biomass supply chain isn't there, the capacity factors will be a joke.

The mention of DevvStream is the key part here. The economics of SAF depend almost entirely on carbon intensity scores and environmental attributes. Without a tight lifecycle analysis, these fuels don't get the subsidies that make them viable.

Converting a traditional refinery like Foreland is a smart move on paper, but the actual cost of retrofitting old hydrotreating systems for synthetic blends is usually where these projects stall.
