Aether Fuels

Aether Fuels is a United States company developing technology to make sustainable liquid fuels from waste carbon. Its website says its Aether Aurora process converts waste carbon into liquid fuels so that industries such as aviation and ocean shipping can reach their net zero goals. The company has a research and development centre on the GTI Energy campus in the Chicago area.

Technology

• Electrified syngas generation and recycling of by-products, which the company says enable very high carbon conversion efficiency
• Conversion of carbon from carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons such as methane without extra steps or additional equipment
• A stated step change in the cost of syngas generation and upgrading compared with medium-scale syngas-to-liquid plants
• A demonstration plant of more than one barrel per day that the company says is under construction

Market case

The site states that aviation and ocean shipping alone will need one billion metric tonnes of sustainable fuel by 2050 to reach net zero, and that government policy and corporate sustainability commitments are driving demand. Aether presents Aether Aurora as a way to scale economically to meet that need.
