Star Metro - XCF Creates High-Tech, Clean Energy Manufacturing Jobs at New Rise Reno Facility

HOUSTON, TX / ACCESS Newswire / July 31, 2025 / XCF Global, Inc. ("XCF") (Nasdaq:SAFX), a key player in decarbonizing the aviation industry through Synthetic Aviation Fuel ("SAF") today announces that to date, its New Rise Reno facility has created more than 60 well-paying jobs in northern Nevada, including high-tech manufacturing, engineering, and technical roles. That number is expected to grow to approximately 100 by 2027 as the facility expands operations with an adjacent site.

The current New Rise facility, which produces synthetic aviation fuel, renewable diesel, and renewable naphtha, supports a wide range of skilled jobs - from process engineers and process operators to mechanical technicians and instrumentation specialists. With plans underway for a second facility on the adjacent site, XCF is doubling down on its commitment to build a long-term, innovation-driven presence in the Greater Reno area.

"The New Rise facility is a powerful example of how the clean energy transition delivers real results - sustainable fuels, next generation career opportunities, and strong communities," said Mihir Dange, Chief Executive Officer and Board Chair of XCF. "Nevada is emerging as a leader in America's energy transformation, and we're proud to help build the skilled workforce that will drive the next era of innovation and growth in the region. I'm especially grateful to the entire team at New Rise Reno - their hard work, dedication, and commitment to excellence bring our vision to life."

XCF's growing presence in Nevada not only boosts local employment but also generates tax revenue and infrastructure investment that directly benefits the community. The company's integrated technology platform and early-mover advantage have made New Rise a model for next-generation SAF and renewable fuels production in the U.S.

"It's exciting to be part of a project that's not only bringing clean energy innovation to life but doing so in a way that creates real opportunity for developing the next generation of highly skilled workers in the Greater Reno area," said Jereme Crouthamel, General Manager at New Rise Reno. "We're building a team that takes pride in our mission, our technology, and the positive impact we're making in this community."
