RMIT Develops Carbon-Conversion Technology for Jet Fuel from Industrial Emissions
RMIT researchers have developed a carbon-conversion technology that transforms industrial emissions into jet fuel and other carbon-based products, significantly reducing energy consumption compared to existing methods. The system, which operates without the need for highly purified CO₂, has resulted in a completed three-kilowatt prototype, with plans for a larger 20-kilowatt version and a goal of commercial readiness in six years. Collaborating with partners like Viva Energy and Hart Bioenergy, the team aims to align the technology with emissions reduction objectives.

RMIT researchers have developed a carbon-conversion technology that aims to transform industrial emissions into jet fuel and other carbon-based products. This system integrates carbon removal and conversion, streamlining the process and reducing energy consumption compared to existing methods.
The technology converts carbon dioxide from industrial exhaust into basic chemical building blocks for jet fuel, operating without the need for highly purified CO₂. The research, published in Nature Energy, outlines a complete carbon-conversion system.
A three-kilowatt prototype has been completed, with plans for a 20-kilowatt version. The RMIT team is collaborating with several partners, including Viva Energy and Hart Bioenergy, to align the technology with emissions reduction goals. The team aims to develop a 100-kilowatt demonstration system in five years and commercial readiness in six years.
