New CEO: Richard C Hawkins wef April 2, 2025
Reverse Merger With Kepler GTL
Letter of Intent to Combine [source: PR February 17, 2026]
- On February 12, 2026 entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent and Transaction Overview with Kepler GTL.
Definitive Agreement Executed [source: PR March 5, 2026]
- Kepler GTL is a developer of proprietary, patent-protected gas-to-liquids [GTL] conversion technology designed to convert flared and stranded natural gas into Sustainable Aviation Fuel [SAF] and green diesel at commercial scale.
- Acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Kepler GTL through a reverse merger share exchange structure.
- Will continue as the surviving publicly traded company.
Patented Technology Ready for Commercial Deployment
- Kepler GTL's patented technology is ready for commercial development.
- The GTL conversion technology addresses 2 significant challenges facing the global energy industry:
-- Reducing wasteful natural gas flaring.
-- Expanding commercially viable SAF production.
- Kepler' GTL's technology is protected by issued patents and supported by additional patent applications, representing meaningful IP value and potential barriers to entry by competitors.
- Kepler GTL's modular, scalable facility design is engineered to convert flared or otherwise stranded natural gas into drop-in aviation fuel intended as a replacement for conventional jet fuel.
- No modifications to existing aircraft or fueling infrastructure would be required.
- A single Kepler GTL facility is projected to produce approximately 120M gals of SAF/year while reducing life-cycle carbon emissions by approximately 70% and flaring emissions by up to 97%.
Massive and Rapidly Expanding Market Opportunity
- The global aviation industry is under increasing regulatory and commercial pressure to decarbonize.
- Governments worldwide are implementing mandates and incentive programs to accelerate SAF adoption.
- Major airlines have made public commitments to significantly increase their use of sustainable fuels.
- Industry materials provided by Kepler indicate that less than 1/10 of 1% of commercial flights currently utilize SAF, representing a significant supply gap and a substantial commercialization opportunity.
- Demand for SAF is projected by industry sources to grow significantly over the next 25 years as regulatory requirements tighten and airline commitments come due.
- Kepler GTL's modular design provides a structural advantage: facilities may be deployed in regions where natural gas flaring and stranded gas resources create both environmental impact and economic inefficiency.
- This model seeks to reduce emissions while producing high-value fuel products aligned with global aviation decarbonization initiatives.
Path To SEC Fully Reporting Status
- JV CPA Inc.- a PCAOB-registered independent audit firm - retained to commence a 2-year PCAOB-compliant audit of the combined business.
- Costaldo Law Group P.C. - a corporate and securities law firm led by Evan J. Costaldo, Esq. - retained as Securities Counsel to guide regulatory compliance and corporate governance matters.
- $AEFI is actively preparing a Registration Statement on Form 10 for filing with the SEC to establish full reporting status for the combined entity.
- There is no pending litigation or disputes involving the Company.
- Completion of audited financial statements and SEC registration is intended to support enhanced transparency, expanded financial reporting and potential future capital markets initiatives.

- Series of meetings over next 8 weeks with several leading US airlines to discuss potential long-term SAF offtake agreements designed to support the aviation industry’s decarbonization goals while advancing American EcoFuels’ commercial development strategy.
- Long-term airline offtake agreements represent more than a fuel sales opportunity - they can provide demand visibility, support project development planning and serve as an important component of project financing initiatives.
- Management believes early engagement with prospective airline customers is an important step toward developing commercially scalable fuel production capacity capable of meeting long-term aviation demand.
- See PR for full details of discussions planned.
Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management (EPCM) - Design and Development of Proprietary SAF Test Plant [source: PR June 11, 2026]
- In final stages of evaluating a short list of engineering firms to provide EPCM for the design and development of proprietary SAF Test Plant.
- Selected EPCM partner will work closely with American EcoFuels to complete the engineering design, procurement planning, construction oversight, and commissioning of the Test Plant - a critical step toward commercial deployment of the Company’s proprietary SAF production technology.
- The Test Plant is designed to bridge the gap between the Company’s laboratory-scale operations, where its proprietary technologies were developed and validated, and its planned commercial-scale production facilities.
- While significantly larger than the original laboratory plant used during the development and validation of the Company’s intellectual property, the Test Plant will operate at a smaller scale than the Company’s future commercial facilities.
- Like the full-scale plants planned by American EcoFuels, the Test Plant will utilize the Company’s proprietary catalyst technology as a core component of its fuel production process.
- The primary objective of the Test Plant will be to produce sufficient volumes of Sustainable Aviation Fuel – Synthetic Paraffinic Kerosene (SAF-SPK) for submission to major commercial aircraft manufacturers, aircraft engine manufacturers, and aviation certification organizations for testing, qualification, and certification purposes.
- Following successful testing and certification, commercial airlines would be able to utilize American EcoFuels’ SAF-SPK as a drop-in aviation fuel in approved aircraft and engines without requiring modifications to existing aircraft, fueling infrastructure, or airport operations.
- Unlike many current SAF pathways that rely on biomass-based feedstocks, American EcoFuels’ technology is designed to produce SAF-SPK without the use of biomass.
- The Company’s fuel is intended to meet rigorous aviation specifications while supporting significant reductions in lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional petroleum-based jet fuel.
- According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), SAF is expected to play the single largest role in achieving the aviation industry’s goal of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, accounting for approximately 65% of the emissions reductions required to reach that target.

Recent Trading / Trading Outlook
$AEFI as $ECOX has given an excellent return on a regular basis for anyone who watches continuously, is patient and who always has some shares that can be traded in any range it runs to on surges.
With only 8.5B shares Held At The DTC and the new business direction via a reverse merger with Kepler GTL, we can expect continued trading action and large surges for the foreseeable future.
The current Held At DTC shares count of only 8.5B is not high by current OTC standards. For instance, some other OTC tickers are diluting 500M > 2.6B every day - eg $RWAX [formerly $HMBL] - another of the highest trade volume stocks - has an A/S of 85B - up 35B in a single day in June - and a Held At DTC figure of 56B.
====================================================
Not a financial advisor - just stating what I'm basing my trading decisions on.
I will be holding some $AEFI in my portfolio throughout 2026 and into future years for long-term growth, trading some on surges from the bottom up too and reloading on any dips.
