SOUTHLAKE, Texas, June 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Eco Innovation Group, Inc. (OTC: ECOX) operating as American EcoFuels (“ECOX” or the “Company”), a developer of sustainable aviation fuel (“SAF”) and advanced fuel technologies, announced that over the next eight weeks the Company plans to engage in a series of meetings with several leading U.S. airlines to discuss potential long-term SAF offtake agreements designed to support the aviation industry’s decarbonization goals while advancing American EcoFuels’ commercial development strategy.
The meetings are expected to focus on establishing commercial frameworks for future SAF supply agreements that could provide airlines with reliable access to domestically produced sustainable aviation fuel while supporting the financing, construction, and expansion of American EcoFuels’ production capabilities.
As part of these discussions, American EcoFuels expects to address several key commercial and operational considerations, including:
- Long-term SAF supply volumes and delivery schedules
- Contract duration and phased production ramp-up commitments
- Pricing mechanisms and market indexation structures
- Carbon intensity targets and lifecycle emissions reductions
- Ownership and allocation of environmental attributes and credits
- Eligibility under federal and state renewable fuel programs
- Sustainability certifications and approved feedstock sources
- ASTM fuel certification requirements and airline operational specifications
- Logistics, storage, blending, and fuel delivery infrastructure
- Performance guarantees, risk allocation, and financing support provisions
The Company believes that long-term airline offtake agreements represent more than a fuel sales opportunity. Such agreements can provide demand visibility, support project development planning, and serve as an important component of project financing initiatives. Management believes early engagement with prospective airline customers is an important step toward developing commercially scalable fuel production capacity capable of meeting long-term aviation demand.
“We are looking forward to engaging directly with airline stakeholders regarding their long-term fuel requirements, sustainability objectives, and operational priorities,” said Brian Vitale, Director of Aviation for American EcoFuels. “Our goal is to develop commercial relationships that provide airlines with access to domestically produced SAF while creating the visibility and certainty necessary to support future production growth, infrastructure development, and project financing activities. The aviation industry has made significant commitments toward reducing carbon emissions, and we are excited to explore opportunities to help airline partners meet those goals through scalable, American-produced fuel solutions.”
Brent Nelson, Chief Executive Officer of Kepler GTL Technologies Inc., added, “Long-term offtake relationships are a critical component of commercializing any SAF platform. These discussions are intended to help us better understand airline requirements while establishing the framework for potential commercial relationships that could support future production, project development, and financing initiatives. We believe the aviation industry will continue to seek dependable domestic SAF supply sources as regulatory requirements and sustainability commitments continue to evolve.”
The planned meetings are expected to occur throughout June and July 2026 and will involve airline sustainability, procurement, operations, finance, and strategic planning teams, together with representatives from American EcoFuels’ commercial and executive leadership.
Intellectual Property Expansion
The Company expects to advance multiple additional patent filings in the coming weeks as part of its ongoing effort to expand and strengthen the intellectual property portfolio supporting its fuel production technologies, process innovations, and related commercialization initiatives. Management believes the continued development and protection of proprietary technology will remain an important component of the Company’s long-term commercialization and growth strategy. These anticipated filings are expected to cover various aspects of the Company’s fuel production processes, system designs, and related technological innovations.
Industry Analysis Supports Commercial Strategy
In conjunction with its commercial development initiatives, the Company recently completed a comprehensive Sustainable Aviation Fuel industry analysis examining airline demand, global production capacity, regulatory developments, and market growth forecasts. The report highlights what management believes is the defining characteristic of the current SAF market: demand is accelerating while supply remains severely constrained.
According to data cited in the report, SAF represented only approximately 0.6% of global jet fuel consumption in 2025 and is projected to reach only 0.8% in 2026 despite increasing airline commitments and expanding regulatory mandates. The report also highlights the European Union’s ReFuelEU Aviation framework, which requires increasing SAF utilization from 2% in 2025 to 70% by 2050, creating long-term mandated demand for sustainable aviation fuels. Management believes this combination of regulatory support, airline adoption, and persistent supply shortages creates a compelling opportunity for new scalable fuel production platforms.
