FlyORO Technologies and Aether Fuels have signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to jointly develop sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) supply-chain, blending, and downstream delivery models.
The collaboration will focus on evaluating how a next-generation SAF production pathway can be integrated with flexible blending and modular logistics. The primary focus of the partnership is Project Beacon, Aether’s planned commercial demonstration facility at the Aster Pulau Bukom refinery in Singapore.
Project Beacon is projected to be the first next-generation, commercial-scale SAF facility in Southeast Asia. Powered by the Aether Aurora technology platform, the site is designed to convert industrial waste gas and biomethane into CORSIA-certified SAF, bypassing the traditional HEFA pathways that dominate current SAF production. The facility targets an output of up to 50 barrels of fuel per day—approximately 2,000 tonnes annually—and aims to deliver lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions reductions exceeding 70% compared to conventional jet fuel.
FlyORO will support the downstream logistics of the initiative using its AlphaLite system, a modular, on-demand SAF blending system designed to integrate directly with existing fuel infrastructure closer to the point of use. This technology builds on FlyORO’s 2025 operational deployment with Wagner Sustainable Fuels and Boeing at Toowoomba Wellcamp Airport in Queensland, Australia.
Jonathan Yeo, Chief Executive Officer of FlyORO Technologies, highlighted the strategic value of the local market, stating: “Singapore is one of the few markets where advanced fuel production, airport demand, logistics capability and policy momentum can come together at meaningful speed. Through this MOU, we want to explore how smarter downstream infrastructure can complement next-generation SAF production and help make supply more flexible, transparent and practical for the local market.”
Conor Madigan, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Aether Fuels, added: “Project Beacon is intended to demonstrate Aether’s breakthrough Aurora technology in commercial operation and unlock new and more abundant waste carbon feedstocks for SAF production. Working with FlyORO on this project gives us an opportunity to evaluate how downstream blending and supply-chain innovation can support commercialization in Singapore and accelerate overall SAF industry development.”
The non-binding agreement aligns with Singapore’s broader strategy to position itself as a central aviation and clean-energy innovation hub. Future implementation remains subject to technical, commercial, and regulatory discussions, alongside the finalization of definitive agreements.
