Summary
Twelve, a California-based cleantech company, has launched AirPlant One, the first commercial-scale facility in the U.S. that produces sustainable aviation fuel (E-Jet fuel) from captured CO2 and renewable electricity. Founded in 2015, the company uses a process powered by renewable energy that converts CO2 and water into chemicals, materials, and fuels, with water and oxygen as byproducts. This marks a significant milestone in the development of power-to-liquid sustainable aviation fuel technology in the United States.
