DevvStream Corp. (NASDAQ: DEVS), Southern Energy Renewables Inc. (SER), and Frontline BioEnergy – a trade name of Frontline Group LLC – have signed a term sheet that will fund the design, construction and commissioning of two pilot‑scale demonstration units in Louisiana. Southern will provide up to $2.05 million to support a methanol‑to‑hydrocarbons (MTH) unit and a methanol‑to‑methanol (MeOH) unit, both of which are critical steps in validating the technology that will underpin Southern’s planned commercial biomass‑to‑jet fuel plant.
Frontline will self‑perform most engineering, procurement, fabrication and construction work and will serve as Southern’s exclusive gasification provider for a five‑year period. DevvStream will act as the exclusive carbon‑credit and environmental‑asset manager for Southern’s commercial projects, while XCF Global will contribute downstream fuels expertise and market insight. The collaboration is designed to generate operational data that Southern can use to validate feedstocks, yields and economics, thereby reducing the risk profile of the proposed Louisiana commercial development.
The term sheet also ties into DevvStream’s blockchain‑enabled carbon‑credit tracking platform, which will support the transparency of the $SAF token on Solana. By linking tokenized carbon credits to real‑world emissions reductions, the partnership creates a new revenue stream that is directly tied to project performance and market demand for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
Management emphasized the strategic fit of the deal. Sunny Trinh, CEO of DevvStream, said the collaboration “is designed to convert innovation into bankable execution” and that the partnership will “build a more disciplined pathway to de‑risk engineering, strengthen project economics and support a credible commercialization timeline.” Jay Patel, CEO of Southern Energy Renewables, added that the term sheet “advances a practical de‑risking plan to generate real operating data, validate feedstocks and yields, and move toward definitive commercial agreements with a proven technology partner.”
The agreement is part of a broader strategic objective that includes a potential three‑party merger among DevvStream, Southern Energy Renewables and XCF Global. If completed, the merger would combine DevvStream’s environmental‑asset platform, Southern’s biomass‑to‑fuel expertise and XCF Global’s downstream market knowledge, positioning the combined entity as a leader in the growing SAF market.
The partnership reflects the aviation industry’s push to decarbonize and the increasing importance of biomass‑based SAF. By leveraging methanol‑derived from renewable sources and advanced gasification technology, the project aims to produce carbon‑negative jet fuel that can be blended with conventional aviation fuel, helping airlines meet regulatory emissions targets and investor sustainability expectations.
