In today’s world, everybody’s looking for a way to make fuel that doesn’t put CO2 in the atmosphere. When you burn this fuel, you put CO2 in the atmosphere, but it’s roughly equivalent to what you took out. That’s called carbon-neutral.
Emerging Fuels Technology, along with two partners, has developed a scalable and energy-efficient way to produce de-fossilized jet fuel from carbon dioxide.
