Zero Synthetic Fuels

Un combustible revolucionario para un futuro sostenible

Zero fabrica gasolina sintética, gasóleo y carburante para aviones de combustión limpia y sin combustibles fósiles a partir de aire y agua. Estos combustibles pueden utilizarse en los motores existentes sin necesidad de modificaciones, no contienen impurezas y tienen un ciclo de vida neutro en carbono, ya que su producción extrae del aire la misma cantidad de CO2 que se emite al utilizar el combustible. Los combustibles podrían revolucionar el transporte mundial al desfosilizar industrias enteras como la aviación, la agricultura y la industria pesada. Zero se ha asociado con Rolls-Royce, Boeing, la RAF y Dronamics, empresa innovadora en la entrega de drones, para acelerar su rápida introducción.
