GeorgiaSAF Moves Forward With Commercial‑Scale

CarbonCore Inc. has advanced plans for its GeorgiaSAF program, confirming Bainbridge and Decatur County as the focus of development for a proposed commercial‑scale sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) facility in Southwest Georgia. The project aims to convert sustainably sourced woody biomass into aviation fuel for the Southeast and wider U.S. market, creating a new long‑term industrial outlet. The company is progressing site assembly, infrastructure planning, rail access, utilities and technical diligence with local and regional partners.

According to the company, the planned facility “is being configured with two production trains targeting approximately 20,000 barrels per day at full planned capacity,” though this remains a development target rather than committed production volume. The development concept uses thermochemical conversion of woody biomass to produce synthesis gas, followed by Fischer–Tropsch processing and upgrading into finished fuels. Any emissions benefit will depend on final design, feedstock logistics and lifecycle assessment.

CarbonCore emphasises that site control, permitting, engineering, financing, feedstock arrangements and commercial agreements remain in progress. No construction start or operating date has been announced.

GeorgiaSAF is intended to form the first node in a repeatable, scalable SAF production platform across the United States, supporting rural economies while supplying lower‑carbon aviation fuel to major markets.
