Problem
The aviation industry contributes significantly to global CO2 emissions, with projections indicating a substantial increase by 2050 if no action is taken. Factoring in non-CO2 influences such as contrails and nitrous oxides, the industry's environmental impact could be up to four times greater than CO2 emissions alone. Current efforts to reduce emissions, like improved fuel efficiency and sustainable aviation fuels, are not keeping pace with the industry's rapid growth.
Solution
SiriNor is developing electric jet engines that utilize electric compressors and either battery packs or hydrogen fuel cells to achieve true zero-emission flight, effectively eliminating both CO2 and non-CO2 emissions from aviation. These patent-pending engines are designed to seamlessly integrate into electric propulsion systems for aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles, air taxis, eVTOL vehicles and ground-effect vehicles. By eliminating internal combustion, SiriNor's engines reduce costs and complexity compared to conventional jet engines, while also slashing maintenance expenses and lowering the total cost of ownership. The company aims to have its engines in the air by 2026, ushering in a new era of sustainable aviation.
Target Audience
SiriNor's primary target audience includes manufacturers of aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles, air taxis, eVTOL vehicles and ground-effect vehicles seeking sustainable propulsion solutions.
