VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA–Calyx Bio-Venture Inc. (TSX VENTURE:CYX) announces that the Company’s operating subsidiary – Agrisoma Biosciences Inc. (“Agrisoma”), along with the National Research Council of Canada (“NRC”) and the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (“AFRL”) are partnering with Applied Research Associates (“ARA”) and Chevron Lummus Global (“CLG”) to evaluate CLG and ARA’s 100% drop-in ReadiJet™ Fuel.

ARA and NRC will test the renewable jet fuel against ASTM and military specifications and evaluate the fuel in ground based engine tests, with the initiative culminating in a test flight with the NRC Falcon-20 twin-engine jet. The goal of this testing is to validate the jet fuel for use by the aviation industry.

This flight will be the first time in the world a jet aircraft is powered by 100%, un-blended, renewable jet fuel that meets petroleum jet fuel specifications.

The biofuel, ReadiJet™, was produced by ARA, under contract to AFRL, from Agrisoma’s Resonance™ feedstock crop using CLG’s and ARA’s breakthrough Biofuel ISOCONVERSION process.

During the test flight, a second aircraft, the National Research Council’s T33 jet will fly behind the Falcon 20 to measure the emissions of the engine operating on both the ReadiJet biofuel and on conventional petroleum-based aviation fuel.

Systems onboard the Falcon 20 will allow NRC’s flight research team to switch back and forth between the two fuel types throughout the flight.

These data will be the first of its kind to evaluate biojet fuel emissions of an aircraft engine operating on 100% biofuel.

NRC’s unique expertise will support Agrisoma and CLG/ARA efforts to validate the Resonance-based ReadiJet biofuel as a viable and sustainable option for the aviation industry.

Resonance™ is a member of the mustard oilseed crop family, and was introduced into commercial production in Canada in 2012.

Agrisoma Biosciences Inc., a long-time NRC partner, commercialized the oilseed to provide the industry with a sustainable energy feedstock crop: a non-food, industrial oilseed that is well-suited for production in semi-arid areas, making it ideal for producers who can grow the crops on marginal land.

“NRC is helping Agrisoma complete the value chain for Resonance-based alternative jet fuels,” said Steven Fabijanski, President and CEO of Agrisoma.

“We are excited about the continued testing of Agrisoma’s Resonance™ oilseed feedstock by ARA/CLG and other strategic partners,” stated Hugh Notman, President and CEO of Calyx Bio-Ventures. “This real world demonstration in a 100% biojet fuel powered flight validates our feedstock as a leading alternative fuel solution for the commercial and military aviation markets.”
