5E Announces 6 Additional Sun-to-SAF Facilities for 2025​

The 5 Element Energy and Environmental Systems Team announced today that they will be developing an additional 6 Sun to SAF facilities in 2025.  5E coordinates the construction of process facilities that collect sun energy and use it to convert bio waste into sustainable aviation fuel, green diesel, and other carbon neutral products. 

“Some people accuse us of Alchemy”, jokes 5E President Johnny Kraczek, “but it’s all just chemistry and engineering.”  Dr. Jessie Higgs 5E lead chemist adds, “Basically we use sun energy to separate molecules from green waste plant matter into individual atoms, and then we recombine the atoms into short chain hydrocarbons to make up sustainable jet fuel, green diesel and other synthetic products that have zero additional carbon footprint.” 

The announcement of these five new plants will put the 5E total at nine Sun to SAF facilities in the development and construction cycle.  The initial four plants already under development are located in:  

• Northern Utah 

• Southeast Texas 

• Louisiana 

• Puerto Rico 

The newly announced 2025 development sites include: 

• Utah (St. George/S. Utah) 

•  Element Energy Nevada (Vegas) 

• Arizona (Phenix Mesa/Tempe) 

• California (2 Southern Sites) 

• New Mexico 

“The reason these facilities are so important to the human family is that currently so much material is landfilled around the world or worse dumped into the oceans, resulting in both methane production and huge environmental costs to ecosystems and economies.  Basically, these landfilled materials; wastepaper, cardboard, green waste, manure, can be converted into significant value.  Taking material that an island nation is currently struggling to find space to throw away, and instead using it as a feed stock that creates very valuable fuel products can do wonderful things for struggling economies,” explains Johnny Kraczek 5E CEO. 

In short, Sun to SAF facilities make solid environmental contributions by eliminating land fill waste and new CO2 production, while helping convert trash into an economic boon. For small or developing economies it’s like instead of dumping every 3rd dollar in the trash, you instead get to use it to buy food, pay people, etc., and it can tip the economic scale in the positive direction. 

Johnny Kraczek notes that additional sites are under consideration for future development in 2026 and beyond, many of them international locations.  Most of these facility sites have already been visited by 5E team members who have worked with government, environmental, energy and economic leaders and are prioritizing and shortlisting a significant number of follow-on projects. 

“We look for and qualify Sun to SAF sites, complete initial facility engineering and costing, bring together investors, government funders, industrial banks, engineering teams, the technology venders and construction teams to build these facilities.  If you are interested in participating in any of our facility development projects, let us know!”  5E President Johnny Kraczek finishes.
