Zeon Corp. (Tokyo), through its venture capital arm Zeon Ventures Inc., has invested in Aether Fuels Pte. Ltd. (Aether), a Singapore/U.S.-based startup developing a breakthrough production technology for scalable and cost-competitive sustainable liquid fuels. Alongside this investment, Zeon will proactively identify new business opportunities in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
Aether econimcally converts waste carbon into sustainable liquid fuels for the aviation and ocean shipping industries using its proprietary Aether Aurora technology, which is characterized by lower capital expenditures and operating costs, improved yields, and flexible use of various types of waste carbon as feedstock. The technology is capable of converting waste carbon feedstock into cost-competitive SAF and other liquid hydrocarbons and will thereby contribute to resolving the shortage of supply for SAF.
