Aerion teams with Carbon Engineering for CO2-based fuel to power supersonic flight

In Nevada, supersonic aircraft company Aerion and Carbon Engineering Ltd. (CE) announced they are working together to develop solutions for carbon neutral supersonic air travel.  The companies have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to explore ways in which CE’s synthetic fuel – made from carbon dioxide (CO2) captured from the atmosphere, water, and clean electricity – will power Aerion’s AS2 supersonic business jet, the world’s first carbon neutral supersonic commercial aircraft.

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.
