A facility converting renewable natural gas and associated gas from the Permian into over one billion gallons/year of sustainable aviation fuel, lower carbon aviation fuel, and other light products annually. The facility will use captured biogas feedstock, integrated carbon capture, and renewable power. A FID is targeted for mid-2024.
Air Company’s first pilot facility. Air Company turns CO2 from the atmosphere into sustainable aviation fuel, AIRMADE™ SAF. The CO2 used is captured from traditional fermentation and industrial alcohol plants prior to it being emitted into the atmosphere and arrives at Air Company in tanks after it has been cooled, pressurized, and liquified.
A pilot plant in Houston, Texas, using CO2 emissions as feedstock to produce products including methane and fuels. As of April 2023, when the pilot plant launched, the eCO2 company was in pre-FEED engineering on full commercial-scale designs. In September 2023, Cemvita Corporation announced an offtake arrangement with United Airlines for up to 1 billion… Continue reading Cemvita | eCO2 Pilot Plant
