SAF start-up Sora Fuel raises $14.6 million to build pilot production plant
In Bulgaria, Renewables Now reported that US sustainable aviation fuel start-up Sora Fuel said it had raised $14.6 million in a funding round to scale its technology that produces jet fuel from air, water and renewable energy.
Boston-based Sora Fuel said it would use the proceeds to build and operate a pilot production facility aimed at scaling output of sustainable aviation fuel from small volumes to barrel-scale production within 18 to 24 months.
The company has developed a proprietary system that captures carbon dioxide directly from ambient air and converts it into syngas in a single step, co-producing hydrogen while avoiding the energy-intensive regeneration processes typical of conventional direct air capture (DAC) technologies, according to the report.
