Air Company, the carbon technology company that creates carbon-negative alcohols and fuels from Carbon Dioxide (CO2), has launch its Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) made from captured CO2.
The importance of this novel climate technology, distributed under the name Airmade SAF, is underscored by commitments from global aviation partners to purchase over one billion gallons of Airmade SAF; including JetBlue, Virgin Atlantic and Boom Supersonic, among others.
This technology will be applied globally with significant future implications, especially as it pertains to the levels of fuel production and consumption that we see from the energy industry today. Air Company creates renewable fuels from CO2, directly addressing fossil fuel dependency, the leading cause of climate change.
Using the same proprietary technology that mimics photosynthesis to create its consumer ethanol, Air Company has developed and deployed its single-step process for CO2 -derived fuel production using renewable electricity.
"Our goal as an organisation has always been to expand into industries where our technology will have the largest impact and the most CO2 reduction," explained Gregory Constantine, CEO and Co-Founder of Air Company. "We have been quietly working on this innovation, and we're proud to debut this SAF technology and commercialization in partnership with some of the most impactful and innovative companies in the world. The aviation industry is a leading contributor to excess CO2 in our atmosphere, and with this announcement, we and our partners aim to create a direct pathway towards a seismic shift away from legacy fossil-fuel-based production in a cost-effective manner. We're excited about the future and anticipate seeing more partners commit to phasing out fossil fuel use and decarbonizing aviation altogether."
