Metafuels grabbed an $8 million suitcase from the baggage carousel at #Zurich Airport, but it's not jetting off on vacation—it's making the sky green!✈️ The company, based in Zurich, is shaking up the sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) landscape with its revolutionary #aerobrew. Metafuels is concocting #eSAF using renewable #electricity, aiming to create a 100% synthetic jet fuel substitute by 2030. Leigh Hackett, Co-founder, emphasizes operational safety in all environments. The $8 million investment, led by Energy Impact Partners and Contrarian Ventures, fuels Metafuels' ambitious plan to integrate seamlessly into existing renewable energy systems. Their eSAF technology transitions away from fossil-based kerosene by converting green methanol to eSAF. Methanol, derived from sustainably sourced hydrogen and carbon dioxide, sets the stage for a groundbreaking journey toward sustainable aviation. Saurabh KAPOOR, CEO and Co-founder, highlights the beauty of aerobrew—it fuels aircraft without modifications, using existing infrastructure. Metafuels' innovation could be the stepping stone until battery or hydrogen-powered planes take flight, promising a greener and sustainable future for aviation. #SustainableAviation #CleanEnergy #Metafuels #GreenSkyAhead
