Prometheus Fuels’ first million tons of e-methanol sold out upon launch

In California, Prometheus Fuels announced first product — a 99.9% pure, carbon neutral methanol fuel that is molecularly identical to fossil methanol, but made from air. Orders for its first million tons of the fuel are sold out. FTIR, or Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, is a common lab test to identify fuels. It shines a beam of infrared light through the fuel sample to measure how much light gets absorbed at different frequencies. Then it matches the absorption pattern to patterns of known substances. 

FTIR tests showed fossil-based and Prometheus’fuel to be identical, because both are made from CO2. It’s just that one was made from CO2 extracted from the ground while theirs was made from CO2 captured from air.
