Exploring U.S.-based nuclear power as a strategic enabler for advanced fuels, AI-era infrastructure, and tokenized environmental assets
Potential to advance next-generation eSAF pathways by pairing continuous clean electricity with electrolysis, hydrogen production, and low-carbon fuel synthesis
Assessing potential pathways for leveraging American power, American feedstocks, and American infrastructure to strengthen U.S. industrial and energy leadership
Sacramento, CA – December 30, 2025 – DevvStream Corp. (Nasdaq: DEVS) (“DevvStream”), a leading carbon management and environmental-asset monetization firm, today announced a non-binding memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) to evaluate a strategic collaboration focused on small modular reactor (“SMR”) nuclear power development, electro-sustainable aviation fuel (“eSAF”) production, and the creation, verification, and monetization of eligible environmental attributes alongside IP3 Corporation (“IP3”), Southern Energy Renewables Inc. (“Southern”), and XCF Global Inc. (“XCF”) (Nasdaq: SAFX) (together “the parties”).
The MOU outlines a proposed integrated framework to assess the development and deployment of firm, zero-carbon nuclear electricity from SMRs to support clean fuel production and energy-intensive end markets, including AI data centers, while enabling robust environmental-attribute structures that may meet evolving compliance, reporting, and market standards. The MOU also outlines a framework to explore the development and deployment of SMR-generated electricity to support existing and future operating assets, including a potential nuclear power solution for a proposed SAF refinery in Louisiana, and to enable a scalable portfolio of verifiable environmental attributes.
If pursued, the parties intend to advance reliable, zero-carbon nuclear power to enable continuous electrolysis, hydrogen production, and downstream fuel synthesis, while also supporting excess clean-power offtake for third-party customers where appropriate.
The parties also intend to evaluate, as part of the negotiation of definitive agreements, environmental-attribute structures associated with eSAF and related low-carbon fuel pathways, including emerging “book-and-claim” and SAF certificate frameworks that allow airlines and corporate buyers to access verified in-sector emissions reduction attributes when physical fuel delivery is constrained.
In parallel, and pending the execution of definitive agreements, the MOU contemplates future development of digital infrastructure to enhance transparency, provenance, and auditability, including tokenization of eligible environmental assets and the use of digital measurement, reporting, and verification (“MRV”) systems to support data quality, provenance, and auditability.
“Together, we are exploring real-world asset and tokenized environmental-asset frameworks with the potential to unlock additional value, improve liquidity, and help lower the delivered cost of clean energy and fuels,” said Sunny Trinh, Chief Executive Officer of DevvStream. “We see this as a potential America-first model that combines U.S. resources, digital infrastructure, and scalable markets.”
“This MOU reflects our focus on putting American energy, infrastructure, and production first,” said Jay Patel, Chief Executive Officer of Southern Energy Renewables. “As the development of advanced nuclear platforms gains momentum, we believe the goal of developing and deploying firm, domestic power is becoming essential for fuels, manufacturing, and data-driven industries. We are committed to exploring how nuclear power, combined with U.S. biomass resources, can enable an integrated, multi-product approach that strengthens U.S. industrial leadership while remaining globally competitive.”
RDML (Ret.) Mike Hewitt, Chief Executive Officer of IP3, added: “Clean, reliable nuclear power is increasingly being pursued as foundational infrastructure for American energy security and industrial growth. We are excited to explore a strategic relationship with XCF, DevvStream, and Southern, including the potential deployment of small modular reactor technology to provide firm power and support e‑SAF production for European markets. IP3’s business model to develop infrastructure projects to privatize Small Modular Reactors for multiple offtakers such as AI and data centers that support government and commercial requirements. We believe pairing firm power development with practical environmental‑asset design and monetization can create a differentiated platform that meets real customer demand while delivering the transparency the market expects.”
“This MOU reflects XCF’s disciplined approach to evaluating infrastructure and partnerships that can strengthen the scalability, reliability, and carbon performance of next-generation sustainable aviation fuels,” said Chris Cooper, Chief Executive Officer of XCF Global. “We believe firm, zero-carbon power is an important enabler for eSAF pathways, and this collaboration, if ultimately pursued, is expected to allow us to assess how integrated power, fuel, and environmental-attribute frameworks could support broader adoption of clean fuels.”
The MOU reflects a shared intent to negotiate definitive collaboration agreements on SAF and other low-carbon fuel opportunities. Any specific collaboration arrangements, investments, or project development activities described in this release remain subject to confirmatory due diligence, negotiation and execution of definitive agreements, internal corporate approvals, and any required regulatory or permitting approvals.

MOU outlines plans for the development of a unified commercial platform combining fuel supply, logistics, and environmental-attribute value for aviation and industrial customers
Sacramento, CA – December 16, 2025 — DevvStream Corp. (Nasdaq: DEVS) (“DevvStream”), Southern Energy Renewables Inc. (“Southern”), and XCF Global, Inc. (“XCF”) (Nasdaq: SAFX) today announced a non-binding tripartite memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) to jointly explore the potential development of a next-generation low-carbon fuels platform designed to accelerate sustainable aviation fuel (“SAF”) adoption, expand domestic capacity, and integrate environmental-attribute monetization into a unified customer offering.
By 2030, the U.S. SAF market is projected to reach nearly $7 billion, while global demand is expected to exceed 5.5 billion gallons, with ~4 billion people living in countries that utilize SAF for air transportation, driving the global market past ~$25 billion. Looking ahead to 2050, the global SAF market could exceed ~$250 billion. This collaboration is intended to position the parties with a unified platform that directly supports this long-term growth.
The goal of the collaboration is to increase long-term SAF supply across multiple production pathways, and to advance the transparency and commercialization of environmental attributes. As part of the negotiation of a binding agreement, the parties expect to evaluate the commercial viability of developing a HEFA-based “Gen 1” SAF facility in Louisiana alongside Southern’s previously announced biomass-based “Gen 2” SAF gasification facility.
Potential Unified Commercial Platform & Strategic Integration
The parties intend to negotiate a definitive collaboration agreement which, if executed, would create a collaborative venture that intends to develop a unified commercial platform that enables customers to procure fuel, logistics services, and environmental-attribute value through a single integrated offering. If developed, this structure would be expected to simplify procurement, improve pricing efficiency, and enhance long-term customer retention across the aviation and industrial markets.
Potential Environmental-Attribute Monetization and Digital Infrastructure
A core component of the potential collaboration is expected to be the integration of environmental-attribute capabilities, including voluntary and compliance carbon credits, CORSIA units, renewable energy certificates, digital MRV solutions, and tokenized environmental-attribute tracking systems. Under the MOU, DevvStream is expected to lead the generation, verification, and monetization of environmental assets associated with the potential platform’s low-carbon fuels.
The parties plan to work towards jointly evaluating solutions to help customers capture, verify, and monetize environmental attributes, including LCFS credits, RINs, and benefits under 45Z/45Q. The parties also plan to evaluate lifecycle analysis (“LCA”) methodologies and carbon-intensity optimization systems which may strengthen project economics and support high-integrity SAF development.
“This collaboration has the potential to create the foundation for a first-of-its-kind, fully integrated low-carbon fuels platform, linking production, logistics, and environmental-attribute systems into a seamless value chain,” said Chris Cooper, CEO of XCF. “If we succeed in combining Southern’s developmental stage biomass-to-methanol-to-jet technology, DevvStream’s environmental-attribute and digital MRV capabilities, and XCF’s HEFA production and commercial infrastructure, we see the potential to build a revolutionary end-to-end system that unlocks new value for customers and potentially accelerate the scaling of SAF in a disciplined, capital-efficient way.”
“Integrating environmental assets directly into the fuel value chain is essential to accelerating SAF deployment,” said Carl Stanton, Chairman of DevvStream. “This collaboration has the potential to bring together three distinct strengths—XCF’s production expertise, Southern’s developing advanced biomass platform, and DevvStream’s environmental-asset monetization capabilities—to help improve project economics while giving airlines confidence in the integrity of their SAF purchases.”
“We believe partnering with XCF and DevvStream would strengthen our ability to scale a multi-pathway SAF strategy grounded in real production capacity and real climate benefit,” said Jay Patel, CEO of Southern. “We are eager to work together to further develop our experimental $SAF token on Solana with DevvStream. Further, we believe Louisiana has the workforce, infrastructure, and feedstock resources to become a national leader in low-carbon fuels, and we see this potential collaboration as a major step toward that future.”
The MOU reflects a shared intent to collaborate on SAF and other low-carbon fuel opportunities. Any specific offtake arrangements, investments, or project development activities described in this release remain subject to confirmatory due diligence, negotiation and execution of definitive agreements, internal corporate approvals, and any required regulatory or permitting approvals. Accordingly, the MOU does not commit any party to proceed with any particular transaction or project.

Step strengthens Louisiana’s role in U.S. energy leadership and advances project finance process for biomass‑to‑fuel facility
December 4, 2025 – DevvStream Corp. (NASDAQ: DEVS) (“DevvStream”), a leading carbon management and environmental-asset monetization firm, and Southern Energy Renewables Inc. (“Southern”), a U.S.-based producer of low-cost fuels made from biomass, with a flagship Louisiana project that plans to utilize regional wood-waste biomass to deliver green methanol and carbon-negative sustainable aviation fuel (“SAF”) at scale, today announced that the Louisiana Community Development Authority (“LCDA”) has approved a resolution authorizing the issuance, subject to further approvals, of up to $402 million of Louisiana Local Government Environmental Facilities and Community Development Authority Revenue Bonds in support of Southern’s planned biomass‑to‑fuel facility in Louisiana.
The facility is designed to use regional wood‑waste biomass and proven conversion technologies, together with integrated carbon capture, to produce methanol and carbon‑negative SAF at commercial scale. By anchoring this investment in Louisiana, Southern aims to strengthen U.S. energy leadership with a “made in America” supply of advanced fuels that can serve both domestic and international markets, while supporting jobs and industrial activity in a state that has long been central to the nation’s energy economy.
The LCDA approval represents an important milestone in the conventional project‑finance process. It permits Southern, working through LCDA as a conduit issuer, to seek an allocation of “volume cap” from the Louisiana State Bond Commission in the same $402 million amount. The volume‑cap request is currently scheduled for the week of December 15, 2025. At this time, no allocation of volume cap has been made; the final step is expected to be an Executive Order from the Governor of Louisiana, which is currently anticipated in January 2026. Until an Executive Order allocating volume cap is issued and bonds are actually sold, the LCDA approval does not represent committed funding, but Southern and DevvStream believe it does demonstrate meaningful progress toward a conventional U.S. project‑finance structure for the planned biomass‑to‑fuel facility.
“We are grateful for the support we are receiving in Louisiana,” said Jay Patel, Chief Executive Officer of Southern Energy Renewables. “The LCDA’s authorization is an important milestone for our planned Louisiana facility and for our broader effort to produce advanced fuels here in the United States. Louisiana’s combination of feedstock availability, logistics infrastructure, and an experienced energy workforce creates a strong platform for long‑term competitiveness. This step also aligns with federal objectives to strengthen domestic energy security, expand U.S. industrial capacity, and support responsible decarbonization of hard‑to‑serve sectors.”
“We believe that this is the kind of step investors want to see in U.S. project finance: conventional, process-driven, and de-risking,” said Carl Stanton, Chairman of DevvStream. “It creates a potential non-recourse financing path to support scale while protecting equity value, subject to remaining approvals and a successful bond issuance.”
The revenue bonds contemplated under the LCDA resolution are expected to be limited obligations of the issuer payable solely from project‑related revenues and other pledged security, and not from the general funds of the State of Louisiana. Final terms, including interest rates, maturities, security, and covenants, will be determined at the time of any bond issuance and remain subject to additional approvals, documentation, and market conditions.
Southern’s Louisiana fuels project and the LCDA authorization complement the previously announced business combination between DevvStream and Southern to form a new U.S.‑domiciled, Nasdaq‑listed company focused on producing low‑cost, carbon‑negative SAF and green methanol using domestic biomass, integrated carbon capture, and environmental‑asset capabilities.
