U.S. startup Circularity Fuels has developed an electrical conversion unit capable of directly transforming biogas into electricity. biogas<\/a><\/strong> generated on dairy farms dairy farms<\/a><\/strong> into synthesis gas, an essential component for the production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).<\/p>\n\n

This technology allows decentralized production with a capital cost 100 times lower than traditional methane reformers.<\/p>\n\n

The Ouro reactor and waste transformation<\/h2>\n\n

On Ouro<\/a><\/strong>reactor, designed by Circularity, operates with standard electrical connection and does not require the usual costly pretreatment of biogas. Its innovative system allows direct conversion of methane<\/a><\/strong> and carbon dioxide<\/a><\/strong> contained in the manure, avoiding their release into the atmosphere and generating feedstock ready to be converted into PBS by Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. <\/p>\n\n

The company has validated this operation on a California dairy farm, marking the first case of electric reforming of raw biogas from a covered lagoon digester.<\/p>\n\n

Distributed jet fuel production<\/h2>\n\n

One of the main challenges in the adoption of renewable fuels has been infrastructure. Circularity proposes a distributed solution: by enabling the generation of liquid fuel directly on farms, dependence on gas grids is eliminated. <\/p>\n\n

This fuel can be transported by road or rail, and can be easily integrated into existing logistics channels.<\/p>\n\n

With more than 20,000 farms in the United States producing untapped biogas, the possibility of converting this waste into fuel represents a new source of revenue for the agricultural sector.<\/p>\n\n

Impact on aviation and commercial deployment<\/h2>\n\n

Airlines face regulatory mandates to incorporate PBS, but currently only a fraction of what is needed is produced. Circularity estimates that, if its technology is implemented at all viable waste sites in the country, it could meet up to 70% of the nation’s demand for jet fuel<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

The company will present its technology at the SAF Global Summit<\/a><\/strong> in London and plans a full demonstration of biogas production to SAF on a farm later this year. Initial commercial deployment is planned for 2026. <\/p>\n\n

The company’s founder, Dr. Stephen Beaton, former head of the U.S. Air Force Petroleum Office laboratory, stresses that this technology democratizes the production of renewable fuels<\/a><\/strong>by allowing livestock farms to become energy centers.<\/p>\n\n

With catalysts adapted from the automotive automotive industry<\/a><\/strong>The Ouro reactor maintains stable operation even in the presence of contaminants typical of agricultural biogas.<\/p>\n\n
