("XCF") (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SAFX">SAFX</a>), an emerging U.S.-based producer of renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel ("SAF"), today announced that it has entered into a Joint Commercialization and Development Agreement, dated June 30, 2026, with Continual Renewable Ventures Pty Ltd ("CRV") and New Rise Australia Pty Ltd, the project entity for the proposed New Rise ANZ renewable fuels platform.The agreement builds on prior planning and technical alignment between the parties and is intended to move New Rise ANZ from early-stage development toward a more structured commercialization framework. The framework contemplates the potential co-development, financing, construction and operation of a Hydroprocessed Esters and Fatty Acids ("HEFA")-based renewable fuels refinery in Australia. The proposed facility is expected to have production capacity of approximately 175 million liters per year of SAF and renewable diesel ("HVO"), subject to definitive project agreements, financing, regulatory approvals, final investment decision, construction, commissioning and other customary conditions.Beyond the proposed production facility, the New Rise ANZ platform has been structured as an integrated renewable fuels ecosystem incorporating feedstock development, logistics, storage, distribution and proprietary modular blending infrastructure. The platform is designed to support phased market entry while seeking to reduce infrastructure costs, improve supply flexibility and enable potential future expansion across Australia, New Zealand and selected Asia-Pacific markets.Under the agreement, XCF Global is expected to provide technical, development and project support, including elements of its renewable fuels technology package, project development experience and operational expertise. In exchange, XCF Global may earn up to a 10% equity interest in New Rise Australia Pty Ltd, to be issued in two tranches tied to agreed development milestones and a final investment decision, while CRV is expected to maintain majority ownership and control of the project entity.The platform also incorporates CRV's proprietary Modular Blending Unit (MBU) technology, which has been developed to reduce capital expenditure associated with conventional fuel storage and blending infrastructure. The modular approach is intended to enable scalable deployment closer to end users while supporting renewable diesel, SAF and future low-carbon fuel distribution pathways.The New Rise ANZ platform is intended to combine XCF Global's renewable fuels development and operating experience with CRV's local market leadership, project ownership and regional development capabilities. XCF believes the agreement supports its broader strategy to expand renewable fuels production and commercialization opportunities through a combination of owned facilities, strategic relationships, technology deployment and disciplined project development.Over the past twelve months, CRV has progressed key project workstreams including feedstock sourcing, site identification across multiple Australian jurisdictions, customer engagement, government collaboration and strategic industry partnerships. These activities have been undertaken to establish the core foundations required to progress the project toward bankability and commercial development."This agreement represents an important step in extending XCF Global's renewable fuels platform into strategically important international markets," said Chris Cooper, Chief Executive Officer of XCF Global. "We believe New Rise ANZ can create a scalable pathway for SAF and renewable diesel development across Australia and the broader region by combining technical execution with local market leadership. For XCF, this structure is designed to support international growth while maintaining capital discipline and aligning our participation with clear project milestones.""This agreement reflects the significant progress already made in establishing the foundations for New Rise ANZ," said Renzo Petersen, Managing Director of Continual Renewable Ventures. "Our objective has always been to build far more than a single production facility. We are developing an integrated renewable fuels platform that combines XCF's proven technology, diversified feedstocks, proprietary modular infrastructure and strong industry partnerships. By aligning with XCF Global through an equity-based partnership rather than a traditional technology license, we intend to bring proven world-class operational experience directly into the project while maintaining Australian leadership of the platform. We believe this positions New Rise ANZ to potentially play an important role in strengthening domestic fuel security, supporting aviation decarbonization and establishing Australia as a long-term producer of sustainable aviation fuel and renewable diesel."The parties believe the collaboration creates a scalable framework for developing Australia's renewable fuels industry by combining proven commercial operating experience with local project leadership, innovative infrastructure solutions and long-term feedstock development. As project milestones are achieved, New Rise ANZ intends to expand its integrated platform across production, logistics and renewable fuel supply to support both domestic and international markets.During the pre-construction phase, the agreement also contemplates potential commercial activities to evaluate product supply, logistics, customer development and distribution pathways. Any such activities remain subject to commercial terms, regulatory compliance, product availability and definitive documentation.XCF expects to provide additional updates as the parties progress definitive agreements, project milestones and financing activities.About XCF Global, Inc.XCF Global, Inc.
