EcoCeres joins forces with Evos for European expansion: First delivery of SAF arrives at Ghent
August 26, 2024
BY EcoCeres Inc.
EcoCeres Inc., a leading pure-play renewable fuel producer, delivered its first vessel with 10 million liters of a sustainable blending component for jet fuel (neat HEFA-SPK) to the Evos Ghent terminal. This marks the start of a new relationship between Evos and EcoCeres. Evos Ghent is the first European storage partner for EcoCeres.
Evos Ghent has a long history in the storage and handling of jet fuel. On Jan. 1, 2023, the terminal made history with the first-ever delivery of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) through the NATO Central European Pipeline System (CEPS) to Brussels airport. Leading the way in SAF logistics, Evos has taken further steps to repurpose infrastructure in Ghent and Amsterdam to meet future aviation fuels blending requirements. Ghent is now one of the largest SAF terminals in Europe and growing.
EcoCeres is playing a key role in the global energy transition, helping to decarbonize hard-to-abate industries, particularly the aviation sector, by leveraging innovation to convert waste into SAF. This collaboration helps integrate EcoCeres in the global logistics and supply chain of renewable fuels and supports the company’s ongoing growth in Europe.

Harry Deans, CEO of Evos, said, "We are pleased to welcome EcoCeres, a leading producer committed to innovation in the sustainable fuels sector. Storage and distribution are critical parts of the supply chain. Evos is proud to partner with EcoCeres and support the global transition to lower-carbon aviation. This is a significant milestone for Evos Ghent and it enables further decarbonisation of the aviation supply chain.”
James Ni, CEO of EcoCeres, said, “We are thrilled to announce this collaboration with Evos, a well-established player with access to critical EU infrastructure. It allows the repurposing of existing infrastructure, securing green jobs, and providing our customers with an easy choice between fossil jet fuel and SAF. Customers can now easily opt for a fuel that offers up to 90% of emission reduction.”
