BurnStar Technologies and C STAR Sign LOI to Advance CO₂-to-Diesel Production in South Africa

We're proud to announce that BurnStar Technologies has signed a Letter of Intent with C STAR Holdings to supply Guilt-Free Hydrogen™ as feedstock for C STAR's containerised CO₂-to-Diesel pilot plant - currently in development in Cape Town, targeting first fuel in H1 2027. 

Under the proposed collaboration, BurnStar's low-carbon hydrogen will be paired with C STAR's proprietary technology to convert captured CO₂ into liquid hydrocarbon products, including sustainable diesel and high-value paraffin wax. The framework is designed to scale alongside C STAR's plant development, with volumes, specifications, and delivery schedules to be defined in a future Definitive Agreement. 

"This collaboration is a natural extension of what Guilt-Free Hydrogen™ was built for - giving industrial partners a clean, cost-competitive hydrogen supply they can build real production around. Pairing our hydrogen with C STAR's CO₂-to-Diesel process opens a credible route from captured CO₂ to drop-in liquid fuels, right here in South Africa." - Dr Johan Brand, CEO, BurnStar Technologies 

"BurnStar's hydrogen gives us a low-carbon feedstock we can rely on as we scale our CO₂-to-Fuel process. This LOI sets the foundation for a supply relationship that can grow with our plant, from CO2-to-Diesel pilot through to commercial-scale production of sustainable hydrocarbon fuels." - Prof Nico Fischer, Director & Co-Founder, C STAR.
