Sustainable synthetic fuels and chemicals

We engineer the transition to sustainable synthetic fuels.

Aefir Labs is the catalyst and process engineering partner for the companies building sustainable synthetic fuels and chemicals. We take Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) from first concept to a costed, buildable design and apply the same engineering to platform chemicals like methanol, olefins and synthetic natural gas.

Our vision

We enable industry to produce sustainable synthetic fuels and products affordable, faster.

Sustainable Aviation Fuel is our focus today. The same catalysis and process engineering applies to sustainably sourced platform chemicals like methanol, olefins and synthetic natural gas, which sit well within our scope.

The cost and the timeline are decided in the chemistry. Today's conversion routes are long, energy-hungry and slow to improve. By pairing catalysis and process expertise with AI, we compress the R&D behind production, so viable sustainable fuels and products reach the market sooner.

More about us
Our activities

Three pillars behind lower-cost sustainable fuels.

From a first process concept to sharper catalysts in a running plant, we support the whole route. We do the engineering, our clients produce.

01

Process engineering

Conceptual process design, pre-FEED and techno-economic assessment for SAF and platform-chemical plants, from people who have done the chemistry.

02

Catalyst testing and improvement

We test catalysts for precise process modelling and improve the performance of the catalysts you already run.

03

AI-assisted catalyst optimisation

Fast design-space screening combined with high-throughput experiments, so the lab focuses on the candidates most likely to win.
