On Monday, the company disclosed the execution of a binding agreement between Comstock Fuels Corporation and Gresham’s Eastern (Pvt) Ltd in Pakistan.

As per the deal, Comstock Fuels agreed to grant Gresham’s exclusive project and site development rights in Pakistan.

This will enable Gresham’s to deploy Comstock Fuels’ proprietary and patented lignocellulosic biomass refining technologies to produce sustainable aviation fuel and other renewable fuels in Pakistan.

Gresham will oversee the development, financing, construction, and management of renewable fuel facilities utilizing Comstock Fuels’ proprietary Bioleum refining technologies.

Each refinery will operate under a site-specific license to meet Comstock Fuels’ performance and quality standards.

The initiative aims to meet growing global demand for sustainable aviation fuel production, positioning Pakistan as a key player in renewable fuels.

Gresham intends to utilize locally sourced agricultural and forestry residues along with sustainably grown energy crops, unlocking significant export potential.

The project supports Pakistan’s goal of achieving 60% renewable energy by 2030.
