Aether Fuels

San Francisco, CA, United States

Overview

Aether Fuels is a clean-energy company commercializing Aether Auror™, a process that transforms industrial waste gas and biomethane into CORSIA-certified sustainable aviation fuel with more than 70 % greenhouse-gas reductions. Its flagship initiative, Project Beacon, is a 50 barrels-per-day (2,000 t per year) SAF plant being co-developed with Aster at the latter’s Bukom Island refinery in Singapore; engineering is underway, construction is slated for 2026, and commercial operations are targeted for 2028. The company is also planning to open a Singapore R&D center in 2026 to support ongoing technology scale-up. To bolster execution, Aether has added Stu Stott as Global Vice President of Projects and expanded its regional business development team. Including the latest round, Aether has raised more than US$60 million to date, funding pilot activities in the U.S. and the move from demonstration to commercial deployment. The new capital will accelerate Project Beacon and further maturation of its core technology.
