New Sustainable Aviation Fuel Plant Transforms CO2 Into Jet Fuel
Affiliate Disclosure
Hey fellow impactful ninja ?
You may have noticed that Impactful Ninja is all about providing helpful information to make a positive impact on the world and society. And that we love to link back to where we found all the information for each of our posts.
Most of these links are informational-based for you to check out their primary sources with one click.
But some of these links are so-called "affiliate links" to products that we recommend.
Why do we add these product links?
First and foremost, because we believe that they add value to you. For example, when we wrote a post about the environmental impact of long showers, we came across an EPA recommendation to use WaterSense showerheads. So we linked to where you can find them. Or, for many of our posts, we also link to our favorite books on that topic so that you can get a much more holistic overview than one single blog post could provide.
And when there is an affiliate program for these products, we sign up for it. For example, as Amazon Associates, we earn from qualifying purchases.
What do these affiliate links mean for you?
First, and most importantly, we still only recommend products that we believe add value for you.
When you buy something through one of our affiliate links, we may earn a small commission - but at no additional costs to you.
And when you buy something through a link that is not an affiliate link, we won’t receive any commission but we’ll still be happy to have helped you.
What do these affiliate links mean for us?
When we find products that we believe add value to you and the seller has an affiliate program, we sign up for it.
When you buy something through one of our affiliate links, we may earn a small commission (at no extra costs to you).
And at this point in time, all money is reinvested in sharing the most helpful content with you. This includes all operating costs for running this site and the content creation itself.
What does this mean for me personally?
You may have noticed by the way Impactful Ninja is operated that money is not the driving factor behind it. It is a passion project of mine and I love to share helpful information with you to make a positive impact on the world and society. However, it's a project in that I invest a lot of time and also quite some money.
Eventually, my dream is to one day turn this passion project into my full-time job and provide even more helpful information. But that's still a long time to go.

📰 The quick summary: AIRCO has launched a new AIRMADE Fuel plant in Brooklyn that integrates their complete CO2-to-fuel process, enabling the production of sustainable aviation fuel that can help decarbonize the air travel industry.
📈 One key stat: The project is backed by a $70 million Series B fundraise, demonstrating significant investor confidence in carbon conversion technology for aviation fuels.
💬 One key quote: “The United States will remain a critical proving ground and home for our technology,” said Gregory Constantine, Co-Founder and CEO of AIRCO.
1️⃣ The big picture: AIRCO has unveiled a groundbreaking sustainable aviation fuel plant in Brooklyn, New York that converts captured carbon dioxide into jet fuel. The facility integrates their full CO2-to-fuel process, turning captured carbon and hydrogen into synthesis gas that becomes optimized liquid fuel for aerospace applications. This demonstration plant, supported by $70 million in Series B funding, represents a significant milestone in making synthetic aviation fuels commercially viable. The project aims to address the growing global demand for sustainable alternatives to conventional jet fuel while helping decarbonize one of the hardest-to-abate sectors.
2️⃣ Why is this good news: This technology provides a practical path to reducing aviation emissions without requiring new aircraft or engine designs. The modular approach allows for flexible deployment in various environments, powered by renewable energy or clean hydrogen. By turning captured CO2 into viable jet fuel, AIRCO creates a circular carbon economy that prevents additional fossil fuels from being extracted. The project strengthens partnerships across both defense and commercial aviation sectors, including the Department of Defense, JetBlue, and Virgin Atlantic, accelerating industry-wide adoption of sustainable fuels. The Brooklyn facility serves as both a production site and showcase, helping validate fuel quality against industry standards.
3️⃣ What’s next: The Brooklyn plant will be used to validate the AIRMADE fuel quality against industry standards. AIRCO plans to leverage its modular and mobile design to adapt to various environments for future deployments. The company will continue expanding collaborations with commercial and defense partners to scale up sustainable aviation fuel production.
