XCF Showcases Plant-Level Innovation Supporting Emissions-Reduction Efforts and Operational Readiness

Company Update

• Up to 500 kW of power recovered from excess steam to help reduce purchased electricity and support more efficient plant operations

• Approximately 35 gallons per minute of water recovered-more than 50,000 gallons per day, an important conservation measure in an arid operating environment

• Integrated resource recovery initiatives help lower operating costs while supporting XCF's broader efforts to reduce emissions and improve carbon intensity over time

HOUSTON, TX / ACCESS Newswire / May 15, 2026 / XCF Global, Inc. ("XCF") (Nasdaq:SAFX), an emerging renewable fuels company focused on sustainable aviation fuel ("SAF"), today highlighted several existing plant-level initiatives at its facility that reflect the Company's continued commitment to reducing emissions, conserving resources and improving operational efficiency. These initiatives complement XCF's broader mission to help decarbonize the transportation sector through the production of renewable fuels such as renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel while also advancing practical measures within its own operations.

At the plant, XCF has integrated systems and process design features intended to recover energy, conserve water and improve resource utilization. Among these measures, excess steam from the facility's steam methane reformer is routed to a steam turbine generator capable of producing up to 500 kW of power, helping offset facility electricity consumption. In addition, the plant can recover approximately 35 gallons per minute of water, more than 50,000 gallons per day, that would otherwise be lost to evaporation.

Chris Cooper, Chief Executive Officer of XCF, said: "Our commitment to reducing emissions extends beyond the fuels we produce for the transportation sector, including renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel. We are also focused on practical measures within our plant operations that recover energy, conserve water and improve efficiency. These efforts reflect our continued commitment to disciplined execution and to reducing the environmental impact of our operations over time."

XCF believes plant-level efficiency measures such as power recovery, water conservation and feedstock integration can play an important supporting role as the Company advances its renewable fuels platform. While these initiatives represent one component of the Company's broader operating strategy, they underscore XCF's emphasis on continuous improvement and operational discipline as it scales production capabilities and supports lower-emission fuel solutions.
