XCF, IP3, Southern, And DevvStream Sign Non-Binding MOU To Evaluate America-First Nuclear Power For Clean Fuels Production And AI Data Centers

• Potential to bring nuclear power, scalable eSAF production, and environmental-attribute monetization together into a single, integrated clean-energy platform.
• Exploring advancing next-generation eSAF pathways by pairing continuous clean electricity with electrolysis, hydrogen production, and low-carbon fuel synthesis.
• Evaluating high-integrity environmental-attribute structures that combine verifiable power, fuel, and digital MRV to unlock value for airlines and corporate decarbonization customers.

XCF Global, Inc. ("XCF") today announced a non-binding memorandum of understanding ("MOU") to evaluate a strategic collaboration focused on small modular reactor ("SMR") nuclear power, 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 DevvStream Corp. ("DevvStream") (together "the parties").

The MOU outlines a proposed integrated framework to assess the 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.

Chris Cooper, Chief Executive Officer of XCF Global, commented:
"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. Firm, zero-carbon power is an important enabler for eSAF pathways, and this collaboration allows us to assess how integrated power, fuel, and environmental-attribute frameworks could support broader adoption of clean fuels."

The MOU contemplates the potential deployment of SMR-generated electricity to support existing and future operating assets, including a potential nuclear power solution for a proposed SAF and eSAF refinery in Louisiana, and to enable a scalable portfolio of verifiable environmental attributes.

Reliable, zero-carbon nuclear power is expected to enable continuous electrolysis, hydrogen production, and downstream fuel synthesis, while also supporting excess clean-power offtake for third-party customers where appropriate.

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."

Although clean nuclear generation is generally not associated with traditional voluntary offset carbon credits, the parties believe nuclear-powered activity could support a range of environmental attributes and claims frameworks, subject to jurisdiction and program rules. These may include energy attribute certificates such as renewable energy certificates ("RECs") or Guarantees of Origin, zero-emission credit frameworks and clean energy standards that recognize nuclear generation, and zero-carbon Scope 2 claims.

The parties also intend to evaluate 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.

Sunny Trinh, Chief Executive Officer of DevvStream, commented:
"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. We see this as a potential America-first model that combines U.S. resources, digital infrastructure, and scalable markets."

In parallel, 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.

Jay Patel, Chief Executive Officer of Southern Energy, added:
"This MOU reflects our focus on putting American energy, infrastructure, and production first. 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."

The MOU reflects a shared intent to collaborate on SAF and other low-carbon fuel opportunities. The MOU is non-binding and subject to the negotiation and execution of definitive agreements, of which there can be no assurances.
