Thanks to Chemical & Engineering News [@cenmag] for featuring our new kerosene pathway - the first 100% electrochemical process in history that makes kerosene from air and electricity. And also for highlighting why our DAC is the world’s cheapest at $50 per metric ton of CO2.
The gas chromatograph plot shows our direct electroreduction of atmospheric CO2 to kerosene-range alkanes. Kerosene is the precursor to turbine-based fuels. The biggest peak in our fuel sample is at C15, a.k.a., the “sweet spot” in fuel science for its balance of the physical, chemical, and performance properties that make the best fuel for data center power generation and aviation.
Prometheus kerosene is made from two of the cheapest, most plentiful inputs on the planet - air and electrons from the sun. It’s also 100% carbon neutral and can compete with fossil kerosene on price at any scale of production. It’s a true gamechanger.

Continuing a tradition we started last year of dropping epic good news on Christmas Eve, we’ve got a new process to make SAF at <$2.50 / gal at any scale, without H2 bit.ly/prometheus-e-kerosene…
In his latest Founder’s Note, Prometheus CEO Rob McGinnis reveals for the first time details behind the tech advance that made this possible
How can we claim DAC at <$50/ton of CO2 when the DAC industry is stuck at an average cost of $900/ton?
Gasworld’s Molly Burgess breaks down the tech behind our unique “no-desorb” DAC, and how it drives the world’s first pathway to make fuels from air + electricity that can outcompete oil + gas fuels in commodity markets

How fast can we build out production + start delivering fuel for AI power? Faster than any other new option at scale. Prometheus projects can be running at the GW scale in less than 2 years. Why? We don’t need a grid connection, and we can be sited in remote locations with streamlined permits.
We’re now taking orders. Don’t get hung up on the 5L bottle in the photo. We sell our fuel by the ton: bit.ly/prometheus-historic-A…

In a historic first, we just powered AI with fuel made from air + electricity. We’re now taking orders for our AI fuel – steady, high-quality, 24/7, carbon-neutral power generation for data centers – made off-grid at a price that beats grid power. Watch: bit.ly/prometheus-powers-ai

“We’ve done it. We now have the technology to revolutionize how energy is used and fuel is made. Starting now, we are poised to enter a time of unprecedented prosperity, enabled by an extraordinary energy surplus that drives down the cost of power worldwide,” writes Prometheus founder + CEO, Rob McGinnis

We solved DAC, slashing the cost by more than 80%. The new standard is $50/ton CO2. Now we’re building a 200-ton-per-year system. Details at bit.ly/prometheus-slashes-da…

What does it mean when you can “print” carbon neutral fuel from the air at a price that drivers can actually afford? We think it changes everything #zeronetcarbon #fuelfromtheair #prometheusfuels

We’ve got a new film that explains our tech, now streaming at prometheusfuels.com/technolo…
It shows how our fuel-making process can be thought of simply as Reverse Combustion.
Everyone knows that the world’s 1.4 billion combustion cars are releasing CO2 that’s building up in the atmosphere and warming the planet. Why not turn that exhaust into a valuable feedstock that eliminates the need to add any new CO2 to the air?
That’s why we’ve built a Reverse Combustion machine.
Our Titan Fuel Forge simply takes those exhaust molecules of CO2 and water and, using a tech stack that combines #DirectAirCapture, #electrochemistry, and #nanotechnology in a novel process that’s cheaper and more efficient than any other being used to make #efuels, turns them right back into the same fuel and oxygen that a car – or plane or ship – uses to power its engine.
The fuel is 100% #carbonneutral, because when burned, it releases the same amount of CO2 that was captured from the air to make it.
Last week our CEO @Rob_McGinnis dropped the news that, thanks to innovations we’ve made over the last few months, we succeeded in eliminating an entire step from our fuel-making process. The film shows our leaned-out Forge now featuring just our DAC tower, Faraday Reactor, [the world’s first hydrocarbon electrolyzer], and Maxwell Core, [the world’s first commercial-scale carbon nanotube membrane].
But we know none of this novel tech and progress would matter if the fuel we made wasn’t also low-cost. The Titan Fuel Forge was designed to make carbon neutral fuel that people can afford. How does it achieve this?
- by running an electrochemical process that operates at room temperature and atmospheric pressure
- by eliminating the need for distillation
- by eliminating the need for fuel upgrading (making small fuels bigger)
- by integrating the whole fuel-making process from captured CO2 to finished fuel
The result is a machine that makes the world’s first e-fuels that can beat fossil fuels on price.

Turns out when you’re bold enough to innovate in energy tech, you discover new and amazing things. In this update from our CEO @Rob_McGinnis, you’ll find:
- how a recent discovery eliminated an entire step from our fuel-making process, dropping the cost of our Titan Fuel Forge even further
- photos of some solid fuel we made. We call it atmospheric white coal. No, we don’t intend to sell it.
- where we’re at in our quest to make carbon neutral e-fuels people can actually afford
