“At a time when more rockets are launching into space than ever before, we want to show that there are more sustainable production methods to make the fuel needed, not only for rockets but across industries. It’s exciting to think about the possibilities.” — Gregory Constantine We're working on a carbon dioxide hydrogenation technology that NASA can use to produce sustainable rocket fuel. We’re focused on the research and development of the fuel—more specifically on the paraffins—to ensure it can properly scale and meet the property and chemical requirements of fossil fuel-derived rocket fuel. New York University is a collaborator on the project. Our work with NASA doesn’t stop at sustainable rocket fuel. Over the years, we have worked with them on various projects, including the Deep Space Food Challenge and CO2 Conversion Challenge, which focused on producing single-cell proteins and sugar molecules from CO2. These innovations could enable astronauts to produce food, medicine, vitamins and construction materials using only local resources on Mars or during exceptionally long space journeys.
