This Game-Changing Jet Fuel Could Change Aviation & Climate Change Forever
As air travel has become notorious for the environmental impact caused by its emissions, Air Company has embarked on a mission to create a sustainable alternative: jet fuel derived from captured carbon and powered by renewable electricity.
Commercial production of this game-changing product is scheduled to commence before the end of the decade, with renowned airlines such as Virgin Galactic and JetBlue already embracing this sustainable solution. Air Company is paving the way for a greener future in aviation, harnessing the power of captured carbon and renewable electricity. In a monumental effort to combat climate change, their visionary approach extends beyond their own success, as they actively seek to license their groundbreaking technology, fostering collaboration and driving worldwide decarbonization initiatives.
Amidst their quest to create sustainable jet fuel, Air Company uncovered an intriguing byproduct: ethyl alcohol, better known as ethanol—a safe-to-consume type of alcohol. Enter Air Vodka, the first product in Air Company's journey towards sustainable aviation fuel production.
