Flying as it should be

Aviation is an essential part of our modern private and professional lives. To reduce emissions, we must reinvent how aviation is fueled.

Right now, more new airplanes are built and flown than ever before.

They will be in commercial use for 30+ years, and they will have to be fueled with kerosene.

E-fuels are the only viable technology for long-haul flights.

While using vast amounts of biomass-based kerosene becomes a challenge, other alternatives like electric and hydrogen planes can only provide solutions for short-haul and are still in the R&D phase.

We need a sustainable solution for today‘s aviation infrastructure.

The planet doesn’t have time. We cannot rely solely on future inventions, which require new planes, new airports, and a new fueling infrastructure. E-fuels can reduce emissions today.

E-fuels offer a circular CO2 balance, where the amount of CO2 emitted in flight is captured and recycled to create new fuel.

The most viable future models will reuse and recycle the earth’s resources, in one continuous loop. E-fuel technologies are built on this exact premise: instead of releasing more carbon into the atmosphere, we can capture what has been previously emitted.

The circularity of e-fuels

Emitted CO2 is captured

from industrial emissions,
from biomass, or from the air.

SAF is produced from the captured CO2

Combined with green hydrogen, CO2 becomes the ingredient to synthetically produce fuel.

SAF provides energy for today’s airplanes

The produced SAF is compatible with today’s conventional, kerosene-powered airplane turbines.

CO2 is re-released during flight

Following combustion, the plane releases the CO2 back into the atmosphere, where it was originally captured.

Sounds too good to be true? That's because it isn't...yet.

Until now, fuels are constantly produced from oil that is constantly flowing. But making fuels from renewable energies works differently. Renewable energies fluctuate between day and night and between seasons. Making fuels from renewable energy with existing systems for constant production has proven too expensive. We must redesign how fuels are made.
