OXCCU, a UK-based carbon-to-value innovator, has unveiled a groundbreaking CO₂-to-SAF technology designed to revolutionize the aviation sector's journey toward decarbonization.

The Breakthrough: CO₂ Fischer-Tropsch (CO₂ F-T) Technology

Using a unique iron-based catalyst, OXCCU’s process directly converts carbon dioxide (CO₂) into hydrocarbons for jet fuel. This method is setting a new benchmark in SAF production by addressing three critical factors:

Cost Reduction:

Capital costs are cut by 50% compared to traditional methods like Methanol-to-Jet (MTJ).
Production costs are 25% lower per tonne, making SAF more accessible to airlines.

Simplified Production:

The process requires fewer steps, directly converting CO₂ into jet fuel with minimal hydrogen input.
This increases energy efficiency and reduces operational costs.

Environmental Benefits:

The technology meets the UK’s stringent RFNBO GHG emission reduction standards.
It significantly reduces greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, aligning with global net-zero goals.

CEO Insights on the Aviation Industry’s Green Transition

Andrew Symes, Co-Founder and CEO of OXCCU, emphasized:

“Our CO₂ F-T technology showcases the economic and environmental advantages of scalable, cost-effective SAF production. This innovation provides a clear pathway for the aviation industry to embrace greener fuels.”

Solving the SAF Adoption Challenge

High production costs have traditionally hindered widespread SAF adoption. However, OXCCU’s breakthrough offers a commercially viable alternative, empowering airlines to:

Transition to sustainable fuels without excessive cost concerns.
Reduce their carbon footprint while meeting regulatory demands.

Transforming Aviation’s Future

OXCCU’s innovation marks a turning point for aviation, paving the way for scalable SAF solutions that balance affordability, efficiency, and environmental stewardship.
