SAF breakthrough

Aether Fuels has reported promising demonstration results for the electric Tri-Converter technology embedded in its proprietary Aether Aurora™ solution, which aims to transform the economics of sustainable fuels and accelerate their large-scale deployment.
This electric Tri-Converter demonstration had a capacity more than 50 times greater than that of the previously demonstrated pilot plant. The results mark a significant breakthrough in the production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).

Technology

The device converts waste carbon feedstocks into syngas, which supplies the downstream Fischer–Tropsch (FT) unit in the Aether Aurora process.
The demonstration aimed to prove that the electric Tri-Converter can continuously produce syngas at increasing scales, using a blend of real-world feedstocks including biogenic CO₂, renewable natural gas (RNG) and green hydrogen.
This project forms part of Aether’s initiative to build and operate a fully integrated demonstration plant capable of producing more than one barrel of sustainable fuel per day. Construction of the plant is expected to be completed later this year.
