A real alternative to fossil fuels
Air Fuel Synthesis is pioneering a revolutionary concept to provide a secure,stable , and sustainable alternative to the world's constant uncertainty about the future of oil-based products.
Air Fuel Synthesis uses renewable energy to do what nature does with photosynthesis and time, converting atmospheric carbon dioxide into oil Put simply, Air Fuel Synthesis converts air and water into synthetic hydrocarbon liquids from which fuels or other oil based products can be made.
Oil is basically made from carbon and hydrogen. Carbon is in the air in the form of carbon dioxide and hydrogen can be found in water.
Air Fuel Synthesis (AFS) is the process of turning carbon in air and hydrogen in water into fuel.
Air Fuel Synthesis has identified suitable technologies and is now in a pilot stage and intends to develop this process to a commercial scale.
