Air Company is paving a pathway to global decarbonization by transforming CO₂ into an endless resource via industrial scale applications. Working with nature rather than against it, its proprietary AIRMADE™ Technology mimics photosynthesis to transform carbon dioxide and hydrogen into a suite of innovative products that create a circular carbon economy. Air Company developed a more efficient process to convert CO₂ into alcohols and fuels. Unlike existing methods of producing fuel, Air Company simplifies the two-step conversion process into a single step to turn CO₂ into fuel-grade paraffins, without the use of natural gas. The company’s patented and proprietary Carbon Conversion Reactor mimics photosynthesis, using only air, water, and sun (renewable energy) to create carbon-negative alcohols and fuels from CO₂.
