Project Objectives
The objective of this project is to advance CERT's system to convert air-to-ethylene, a precursor to sustainable aviation fuel.
Expected Results
This project aims to:
- Provide equitable access to clean fuel production, including in remote communities.
- Reduce reliance on fossil fuels and potential environmental impacts near large refineries.
- Strengthen supply chain independence by reducing Canadian communities’ reliance on external sources of feedstocks for fuel production.
- Support the development of a skilled cleantech workforce in Canada by creating employment, co-op, and internship opportunities for university graduates.
