- The project is part of Aether's initiative to build a demonstration plant producing over one barrel of sustainable fuel per day, with construction set for completion later this year.
- The Aether Aurora™ solution aims to transform the economics of sustainable fuels, facilitating their large-scale deployment and contributing to the advancement of environmentally friendly aviation solutions.
Aether Fuels has announced promising demonstration results for its electric Tri-Converter technology integrated into the Aether Aurora™ solution, designed to revolutionize the production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). The recent demonstration showcased a capacity more than 50 times greater than the pilot plant, indicating a significant advancement in SAF production. The Tri-Converter processes waste carbon feedstocks into syngas, which is utilized in the downstream Fischer–Tropsch unit. Notably, the demonstration displayed the device's ability to continuously produce syngas at scalable levels, utilizing a variety of real-world feedstocks such as biogenic CO₂, renewable natural gas (RNG), and green hydrogen. This successful project is part of Aether's larger plan to construct and operate a fully integrated demonstration plant capable of generating more than one barrel of sustainable fuel daily, with completion slated for later this year. Aether's innovative approach with the Aether Aurora™ solution aims to transform the economic landscape of sustainable fuels, driving their widespread adoption and supporting the advancement of eco-friendly aviation solutions.
