Aviation represents one of the most difficult sectors to address in terms of emissions . To meet growing demand from customers seeking to achieve net-zero climate goals, many companies, such as carbon transformation company Twelve, are developing synthetic fuels to replace fossil-based kerosene in the aviation industry.
Twelve develops E-Jet, a fossil fuel-free, energy-to-liquid sustainable aviation fuel ( SAF ), made from CO 2 water and renewable energy. Now, the company has broken ground on a commercial-scale facility in Moses Lake, Washington, to produce its revolutionary E-Jet fuel.
Twelve's E-Jet fuel is produced using the company's carbon transformation technology in combination with EFT (emerging fuels technology) Fischer-Tropsch synthesis and Maxx Jet enhancement technology. The revolutionary carbon transformation technology uses only renewable energy and water to transform CO 2 into critical chemicals, materials and fuels conventionally man C Level Executive List ufactured from fossil fuels.
With up to 90% lower lifecycle emissions compared to conventional fossil fuels, E-Jet fuel is a synthetic fuel that works seamlessly with existing aircraft and airport infrastructure. It faces no real raw material constraints, so it offers the best viable long-term solution to tackling emissions in the aviation industry.
According to the company , the transition to E-Jet fuel not only reduces dependence on fossil fuels, but also reduces particulate emissions from aviation and lessens impacts on neighboring communities.
The new production facility is expected to begin production of E-Jet fuel in mid-2024 at a capacity of approximately five barrels per day (40,000 gallons per year), with plans to rapidly increase production capacity.
“Twelve uses carbon transformation to address hard-to-reduce emissions across a range of industries and enable a world made of air, not oil,” said Twelve co-founder and CEO Nicholas Flanders. “Our commercial-scale production of E-Jet fuel will enable the aviation sector to achieve fossil fuel-free flights in the long term.”
Alaska Airlines, Microsoft and Shopify will be the first customers to receive products from the Moses Lake plant under existing agreements. Fuel produced at this production facility will be used in regular airline operations as part of a tripartite agreement between Alaska, Microsoft and Twelve, as part of each company's commitment to decarbonize their operations.
