How Twelve’s carbon transformation technology is making carbon-neutral fuels a reality
In this episode, we talk to Nicholas Flanders, Co-Founder and CEO of carbon transformation company, Twelve, who highlights the pivotal role of clean technology in addressing environmental challenges, particularly in hard-to-decarbonise sectors like aviation.
The versatility of Twelve’s technology is underscored by their ability to transform CO2 into a wide range of products, from sunglasses and washing detergents to car parts. Twelve’s innovative sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), called E-Jet®, made from CO2 and water, has up to 90% lower lifecycle emissions than conventional fuel. Flanders also shares E-jet’s journey from its initial testing with the US Air Force to securing commercial partnerships with Alaska Airlines, Microsoft and Shopify.
With a foundational vision of cost competitiveness, Twelve aims to revolutionise the industry and offer customers the lowest possible cost pathway to reduce emissions. Flanders also emphasises the strategic importance of green electricity and multi-year offtake agreements for scaling SAF production.
