[Calgary, Canada, 2025 November 4]

SUSTAERO is proud to announce its selection to the prestigious 2025 Foresight 50, a list of the most investible cleantech startups in Canada. Selected from hundreds of applicants by an independent panel of industry experts and investors, SUSTAERO was recognised for its leadership in the Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) sector and the scalable potential of its proprietary process.

The Foresight 50 recognises ventures that are not only technically innovative but also demonstrate the commercial viability and bankability required to lead the transition to a net-zero economy. For SUSTAERO, this award validates the strength of its regional industrial resilience model, which focuses on repurposing existing infrastructure to produce high-performance aviation fuel from non-food biomass.

"Receiving our first major industry award from Foresight is a significant moment for our team," says Keith Gillard, CEO of SUSTAERO. "Being named one of Canada’s most investible cleantech companies confirms that the investment community recognises the massive opportunity in SAF. Our focus remains on building the secure, domestic supply chains necessary to keep the aviation industry in the air while meeting aggressive decarbonisation targets."

"SUSTAERO's selection for the Foresight 50 is a recognition of the company’s disciplined approach to scaling," noted James Chepyha, Finance Team Lead at Foresight Venture Studio. "By focusing on a bankable, repeatable model that leverages existing industrial infrastructure, the team has moved past the speculative phase of SAF and is presenting a clear, de-risked path to commercial production. It’s exactly the kind of industrial-scale innovation Canada needs to lead the global energy transition."

About the Foresight 50: The Foresight 50 is an annual programme by Foresight Canada, the country’s largest cleantech accelerator, to spotlight the most promising ventures in the sector. The programme connects these companies with international investors and industry partners to accelerate the commercialisation of Canadian climate solutions.
