A Sustainable Path to SAF
Vertimass is developing a sustainable and potentially cost-effective process to produce Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) by converting raw e-methanol, produced from carbon dioxide and renewable hydrogen, into SAF (MeSAF) in a single step using its proprietary catalyst technology. This technology is designed to simplify production and may offer lower costs, with internal estimates suggesting up to one-third of the capital and operating costs of comparable alternatives.*
Looking to the Future
According to third-party industry projections, global demand for SAF may outpace current production (most projections estimate CAGRs 50%+ through 2050).† With Denmark aiming to launch its first green domestic flights by 2025 and further making all domestic flights SAF-powered by 2030, there will be a far greater necessity for the expansion of SAF production.
Our Goal with MeSAF
The goal aims to produce a pre-commercial MeSAF demonstration facility in Aalborg to evaluate feasibility for a future commercial-scale plant with a 10,000-ton/year capacity. This facility will support Denmark’s first domestic SAF-powered route and scale up production to achieve Net Zero targets.

Advancing Fossil Fuel Independence
MeSAF technology is designed to support the conversion of wind and solar energy into sustainable aviation fuels, supporting renewable energy storage and grid stability. By transforming variable renewable power into sustainable fuel, it enhances grid balancing and facilitates greater renewable energy integration. Denmark's SAF demand is projected to reach 10,000 tons by 2025—half of domestic flight consumption—rising to 22,000 tons by 2030.
Potential CO₂ Reduction Benefits
Producing 10,000 tons of MeSAF may result in an estimated reduction of 31,000 tons of CO₂ emissions annually, based on internal modeling and subject to various assumptions. As production scales to 100,000 tons per year, emissions savings will grow to 313,000 tons annually.
Efficient & Scalable Production
MeSAF technology enables cost-effective, gradual scaling to meet demand by leveraging e-methanol production in a spoke-and-hub model. This approach ensures each new e-methanol plant utilizes the best available electrolyzer technology as capacity expands.

Important Information – Risk FactorsAn investment in Vertimass must be considered speculative. There are no guarantees of distributions or returns, and an investor may lose all or part of their investment. There are various risks related to an investment in Vertimass which are described in the Private Placement Memorandum. These risks include:
- Emerging Growth Company: The Company is an emerging growth company that is not yet profitable, is without significant operating history, and may experience significant losses for some time after the Offering.
- Expectations of Future Losses: The Company is not currently profitable.
- Failure to Achieve Targeted Raise: As discussed above, the Company is seeking to raise up to an additional $45 million for use as working capital through the Offering (the “Targeted Raise”). In the event the Company is unable to raise up to the Targeted Raise, it may not be able to fund its operations as it presently anticipates.
- Illiquid Investment: Members of the Company are not permitted to withdraw their investment from the Company and therefore may have to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Company for a substantial period of time.
- No Assurance of Additional Capital: The success of the Company depends upon receiving significant funding from the net proceeds of this Offering, as well as additional financing.
- No Assurance of Distributions: Members may not receive any cash distributions.
- No Role in Management: Members will be unable to exercise any management functions with respect to the Company. The rights and obligations of the Members are governed by the provisions of applicable Delaware law and by the Operating Agreement.
- Projections: Any projected financial results prepared by the Company have not been independently reviewed, analyzed, or otherwise passed upon. Such “forward looking” statements are based on various assumptions of the Company, which assumptions may prove to be incorrect. There can be no assurance that such projections, assumptions and statements will accurately predict future events or actual performance.
- Changes in Fuel Prices: In recent years, the price of ethanol has been less than the price of petroleum-based fuels, which increased demand for ethanol and other comparably priced alternative fuels. However, the price of ethanol and petroleum-based fuels can drastically change over time so it is difficult to predict how fuel prices will be in the future.
