New York-based Dimensional energy is transforming carbon dioxide, water and solar power to make sustainable hydrocarbon fuels at a new Tucson facility.
David Wichner A New York-based startup is transforming carbon dioxide, water and sunlight to make sustainable hydrocarbon fuels at a new Tucson facility.
Dimensional Energy co-founder and CEO Jason Salfi said the company’s technology platform can leverage the trillions of dollars of existing infrastructure that our society relies upon for food, clothing, shelter and transportation “for a transition to a circular economy.” The small-scale Tucson project, funded with grants from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy and Solar Energy Technology Office, has the capacity to produce 5 gallons of sustainable aircraft fuel per day.
“This is similar to how solar panels got cheaper, through mass production which accelerates the learning curve and drives down cost.” Part of an emerging industry to capture and use carbon to combat climate change, Dimensional Energy’s technology got a boost in 2020 as a finalist in the Carbon Xprize, a competition to find the best carbon capture and utilization technologies.
“As the only airline committed to reaching net zero carbon emissions by 2050 without relying on carbon offsets, we recognized that our collaboration with Dimensional would not only help meet our sustainable aviation fuel goals, but could transform the aviation industry,” Leskinen said in remarks prepared for Dimensional Energy’s grand-opening event.
