XCF Global and DevvStream to Develop 45Z Clean Fuel Credit Platform
XCF Global (SAFX) and DevvStream Corp. (DEVS) announced that as part of their previously announced three-party Business Combination Agreement with Southern Energy Renewables the combined entity will explore the development of an integrated platform designed to generate, verify, and market 45Z Clean Fuel Production Credits generated through XCF's production of SAF. The company said, "If successfully developed, we believe this platform would represent an industry-first model in which a SAF producer and a dedicated environmental attribute monetization firm operate as a single, vertically integrated entity, linking domestic clean fuel production directly with structured transfer and sale of clean fuel tax credits. Strategic Highlights: XCF's New Rise Reno facility has a permitted nameplate production capacity of 38 million gallons per year and produces SAF using domestic non-food waste for feedstocks, qualifying the company as a registered clean fuel producer under Section 45Z, which provides potential eligibility of up to $.60 per gallon in transferable tax credits for qualifying SAF production through Dec 31, 2029. DevvStream's environmental-asset monetization infrastructure is expected to provide the verification, recordkeeping, and buyer-matching capabilities needed to market 45Z credits under Section 6418 to unrelated corporate buyers seeking to reduce their U.S. tax liability. At projected SAF production volumes, and subject to facility qualifications and regulatory finalization, the combined platform could generate meaningful annual 45Z credit values, subject to final regulations, verification, and market conditions as XCF scales its planned production capacity."
