Exciting update from our portfolio! Aether Fuels has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with our parent company, JetBlue, to supply sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). Aether’s cutting-edge technology transforms various waste feedstocks into sustainable liquid fuels, offering lower costs and greater scalability compared to existing methods. This agreement marks a major step forward, allowing Aether to provide JetBlue with SAF once commercial production begins. Congratulations to the Aether team on this milestone! 🎉 Read more here: https://lnkd.in/ewybd_Ba
As our breakthrough Aether Aurora technology accelerates, we're proud to announce our first MOU with JetBlue, creating a pathway to supply the airline with SAF when commercial production begins. Aether Aurora can economically convert a wide range of waste carbon feedstocks to fuel, unlocking essential new pathways for creating truly sustainable fuels. For a disruptive technology like ours, early and informed input from potential users, including airlines, can accelerate the ramp from R&D to commercialization. We're excited to engage with JetBlue and look forward to supporting their SAF vision. https://lnkd.in/ewybd_Ba #sustainability #SAF #MOU #jetzero #decarbonization #JetBlue #AetherFuels
