About Aether Fuels

Economically converts waste carbon sources, including CO2, CO, and hydrocarbons, into sustainable liquid fuels using electrified syngas generation and efficient by-product recycling. This technology reduces syngas-to-liquid production costs and enables industries like aviation and shipping to meet net zero targets by scaling to produce over one billion metric tonnes of sustainable fuel by 2050.

Company Description

Problem

Aviation and ocean shipping industries face significant challenges in meeting net-zero targets due to the high cost and limited feedstock availability of current sustainable fuel production methods. Existing processes often rely on scarce or cost-constrained resources, hindering the large-scale deployment of sustainable fuel solutions.

Solution

Aether Fuels addresses this challenge with its Aether Aurora technology, which economically converts waste carbon sources, including CO2, CO, and hydrocarbons, into sustainable liquid fuels. This technology employs electrified syngas generation and efficient by-product recycling to achieve near-ideal carbon conversion efficiency. By utilizing a flexible feedstock approach, Aether Aurora can convert carbon from various sources without requiring extra steps or equipment, overcoming the supply constraints of other sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production processes. The enhanced Fischer-Tropsch (FT) process combines innovations in chemistry, equipment, and novel process flow schemes to simplify the conversion process and reduce syngas-to-liquid production costs.

Features

Electrified syngas generation for ultra-high yield and near-ideal carbon conversion efficiency

Flexible feedstock input, capable of processing CO2, CO, and hydrocarbons (CH4 and others) without additional steps
