California carbon capture startup TwelveAnnounceIn partnership with Alaska Airlines, the company will use its E-Jet aviation fuel to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
E-Jet aviation fuel is manufactured based on carbon dioxide, which is decomposed into fuel components through electrolysis. Compared with ordinary fuel, it will reduce carbon emissions by more than 80%, thereby reducing the environmental impact of large aircraft operations.
In this collaboration, Microsoft will use E-Jet fuel on Alaska Airlines flights to reduce carbon emissions from internal business travel, making its operations more environmentally friendly. By replicating this collaboration with more companies, it is expected to significantly reduce carbon emissions and help companies achieve their carbon reduction goals.
In addition to Microsoft, e-commerce solutions provider Shopify also announced in March this year that it would cooperate with Twelve to reduce the proportion of carbon emissions generated by its freight service operations by purchasing large quantities of E-Jet aviation fuel.
However, even though E-Jet aviation fuel claims to be able to significantly reduce carbon emissions, it must be used in conjunction with traditional kerosene when used in aviation equipment to avoid malfunctions in the electrolysis process of producing fuel, which could lead to flight safety issues.
