Startup Twelve broke ground on a commercial-scale facility in Washington state, which it says will be the first in the country to make sustainable aviation fuel from CO2.
An efficient new process can convert carbon dioxide into formate, a material that can be used like hydrogen or methanol to power a fuel cell and generate electricity.
Captured CO2 can also be turned into textiles, which is another excellent idea for addressing the fashion industry’s carbon footprint.
