Fuel.

Add hydrogen, build hydrocarbons

Syngas is upgraded into liquid e-fuels: drop-in replacements for fossil fuels.

CO + H₂ → CₙHₘ + H₂O.

Electrolysis, reverse water-gas shift and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. The complete process is in development.

Ocean wind. Captured carbon. Clean e-fuels.

How syngas becomes fuel

  1. 01

    Fischer-Tropsch synthesis

    Over a catalyst, carbon monoxide and hydrogen link up into chains of hydrocarbons, the same kind of molecules that make up fossil fuels.

  2. 02

    Refining into e-kerosene

    The raw product is upgraded and separated into fractions. The kerosene cut becomes jet fuel; lighter and heavier cuts can become other fuels.

  3. 03

    Blended at the airport

    Synthetic kerosene from this route is already approved for blending with fossil jet fuel, so it flows through today's tanks, pipes and aircraft engines.

  4. 04

    Shipped like any liquid

    As a liquid, the fuel is stored and transported with the infrastructure that exists today, from the vessel to the airfield.

Aviation can't go electric. It needs our fuel.

Batteries are 40× too heavy for long-haul flight and hydrogen needs entirely new aircraft and airports. For decades to come, aircraft will burn liquid hydrocarbons. The only question is where the carbon comes from.

Why private jets are the first customer

  1. 01

    Fuel is a rounding error

    On a private flight fuel is a small slice of the total cost. A premium for clean e-kerosene barely moves the price of the trip.

  2. 02

    Maximum scrutiny

    Owners and operators face public and regulatory pressure: airport bans, flight tracking, private-jet taxes. Clean fuel is the credible answer.

  3. 03

    No other option

    Business jets fly far and fast on small airfields. Electric and hydrogen aircraft won't serve this mission for decades; drop-in fuel does today.

  4. 04

    Small volumes, big margins

    A single offshore unit can supply a meaningful share of a region's business-aviation fuel: a market we can serve before scaling to airlines.

Expansion path

  1. Private jets
  2. Commercial airlines
  3. Shipping
  4. Road

Stop fossil fuels. By price.

The fastest way to end fossil fuels is to make the alternative cheaper.
