Supersonic aircraft company, Aerion, the leader in supersonic technology and global mobility, and Carbon Engineering Ltd. (CE), a leading Direct Air Capture (DAC) company, today announced they are working together to develop solutions for carbon neutral supersonic air travel. \u00a0The companies have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to explore ways in which CE\u2019s synthetic fuel \u2013 made from carbon dioxide (CO2<\/sub>) captured from the atmosphere, water, and clean electricity \u2013 will power Aerion\u2019s AS2 supersonic business jet, the world\u2019s first carbon neutral supersonic commercial aircraft.<\/strong><\/p>\n By partnering, the two technology innovators in mobility and sustainable energy believe they can take a significant step forward in achieving their common goal of building the clean energy transportation networks of the future, while helping to address the climate and energy challenge.<\/p>\n \u201cAt Aerion we take environmental stewardship very seriously and we believe that speed and being kind to our planet do not need to be mutually exclusive,\u201d said Tom Vice, Aerion\u2019s Chairman, President & CEO. \u201cAs we build the next generation of high-speed transportation networks, we recognize the need to create a broad ecosystem of innovative partnerships to achieve our vision of carbon neutral point to point global travel. We seek partners and technology visionaries who share our vision to passionately pursue addressing climate change. Carbon Engineering is leading the industry in clean energy production and we are proud to partner with them.\u201d<\/p>\n Through this agreement, Aerion and CE will jointly assess requirements to power Aerion\u2019s AS2 supersonic business jet engine \u2013 the first non-afterburning engine built to fly at supersonic speeds across land with no boom reaching the ground \u2013 entirely on CE\u2019s synthetic fuel. The companies will also explore a potential collaborative project to build an AIR\u00a0TO\u00a0FUELSTM plant to produce synthetic fuel specifically for the AS2 program.<\/p>\n \u201cThe fundamental value of fuels made from atmospheric CO2<\/sub> is that they create a circular system of emissions,\u201d said Steve Oldham, CE\u2019s CEO. \u201cOur DAC technology captures yesterday\u2019s emitted CO2<\/sub> and converts it into fuel. When used in any vehicle, the carbon is returned to the atmosphere as CO2<\/sub>, however, the process then captures it again to make more fuel. So, we continually re-use existing CO2<\/sub>, and little or no new carbon emissions are created. This provides a way to decarbonize sectors of transportation that are difficult to electrify and that require the high energy density of liquid fuels, such as aviation or shipping. We\u2019re excited to pair our AIR\u00a0TO\u00a0FUELSTM solution with Aerion\u2019s visionary AS2 aircraft, and to open a pathway to delivering the world\u2019s first sustainable supersonic flight.\u201d<\/p>\n As part of Aerion\u2019s commitment to carbon neutral operations from flight one, the companies will also investigate opportunities for CE to permanently remove CO2<\/sub> from the atmosphere on behalf of Aerion and its customers. CE\u2019s Direct Air Capture technology, when combined with permanent geological storage of CO2<\/sub>, can deliver large-scale quantities of permanent and measurable carbon dioxide removal, which can be used to counteract sources of emissions that are either too difficult or costly to eliminate.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Aerion is founded on a core belief of bringing humanity closer. The company\u2019s vision is a future where humanity can travel between any two points on our planet within three hours using new transportation networks \u2013 powered by clean energy solutions and enabling a world where distance is no longer a barrier. The starting point is sustainable supersonic flight, led by the world\u2019s first supersonic business jet \u2013 the AS2.<\/p>\n Founded in 2009, CE is a Canadian-based clean energy company focused on the deployment of Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology that captures carbon dioxide (CO2<\/sub>) directly from the atmosphere so it can be permanently stored deep underground or used to produce clean, affordable transportation fuels. From a pilot plant in Squamish, British Columbia, CE has been removing CO2<\/sub> from the atmosphere since 2015 and converting it into fuels since 2017. Today, with its partner Oxy Low Carbon Ventures, CE is engineering a commercial scale DAC facility that will capture one million tons of CO2<\/sub> per year, equivalent to the work of 40 million trees. CE is one of four finalists in the Government of Canada\u2019s Sky\u2019s the Limit Challenge competing to develop and produce Canada\u2019s cleanest, most economical and sustainable jet fuel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Supersonic aircraft company, Aerion, the leader in supersonic technology and global mobility, and Carbon Engineering Ltd.
