About this episode

Andrew Symes discusses OXCCU's technology for converting waste carbon into sustainable aviation fuel and the implications of their recent funding.

OXCCU has raised $28 million to scale its technology that converts waste carbon and green hydrogen into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). In this episode of the Climate Solutions News podcast, Andrew Symes, Co-founder and CEO of OXCCU, explains how their process works, what the new funding will support, and why scaling SAF is critical as airline emissions continue to rise. We discuss: The $28m Series B funding round and OXCCU’s investors Plans for the next demonstration plant at Oxford Airport How OXCCU’s catalyst turns waste carbon and hydrogen into jet fuel The challenge of sustainable feedstocks Why SAF costs about 2x fossil jet fuel, and how that gap can close The role of airlines, mandates, and government policy in accelerating SAF ✈️ Aviation accounts for 2–3% of global CO₂ emissions, and demand is growing fast. SAF is one of the few near-term solutions that can make a difference. 📌 Read more at https://climatesolutions.news/business/oxccu-secures-28m-to-scale-sustainable-jet-fuel-production Hosted on Acast.
