About Arcadia eFuels: Arcadia eFuels is creating net zero carbon fuels that use existing infrastructure and work in existing engines. Arcadia leverages proven technology in a novel way to meet the significantly outpaced market demand. Arcadia intends to build multiple plants that will each produce 80,000 tons (100 million liters or 28 million gallons) of eFuels per year. Specifically, Arcadia will produce eDiesel and electro sustainable aviation fuel (eSAF) to power the hard to abate long haul transportation sectors such as aviation and shipping. Beginning with renewable electricity, Arcadia will make green hydrogen, then combine carbon dioxide from direct air capture and/or other biogenic carbon sources to produce syngas. Further processing produces carbon neutral eFuels such as eSaf, eDiesel, eNaptha, and LPG. The carbon neutral eFuels can be used by existing cars, trucks, ships, and airplanes as a complete replacement for fossil fuels. -- Links: www.arcadiaefuels.com www.project-skypower.org

    Synfuels at Scale with C2X CEO Brian Davis

    This week on EAH we have the CEO of C2X. Producing green fuels is no easy business, and among the many challenges, finding that elusive offtake often ranks high on the investor concern list. But C2X is a little different. Backed by A.P. Moller Holdings, the company has a unique understanding of how to find compelling commercial propositions for customers. C2X is also a leader in the development of new large scale green methanol projects. Starting with their flagship project in Louisiana, the company looks to develop projects with both biofuel based green methanol and e-methanol derived from electrolysis and biogenic CO2. This provides a unique perspective on both old and new technologies for green fuel production, and how to close the gap. As our first EAH episode dedicated to green methanol (and its role in fuels like SAF), we couldn’t have found someone better! About Brian Davis: Before joining C2X as CEO in July 2023, Brian enjoyed a 32-year international career at Shell including assignments as SVP of Global Energy Solutions, Head of Corporate Strategy for the Shell Group and SVP of Shell Chemicals. After leaving Shell he served as EVP and Chief Commercial Officer for Marathon Petroleum Corporation based in San Antonio, Texas. More recently, he was a senior advisor to multiple companies around the world focused on scaling up solutions to accelerate the energy transition. Brian earned a degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Sydney, Australia. He has lived and worked in Australia, the UK, the USA, Turkey, The Netherlands, and Barbados. About C2X: C2X focuses on scaling up the production of affordable green methanol to facilitate transition to use of renewable fuels and renewable chemicals across multiple industries.
