About Aether Fuels

Aether Fuels is an advanced climate technology company founded in 2022 as a spin-out of Xora Innovation (a deep-tech platform of Temasek), focused on decarbonizing hard-to-abate industries like aviation and ocean shipping. Its core product, Aether Aurora™, uses a proprietary Fischer-Tropsch-derived process to convert waste carbon feedstocks — including captured CO₂, industrial waste gases, biogas, and municipal solid waste — into cost-competitive, drop-in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and marine fuels. The company targets customers in aviation and shipping seeking decarbonization without changes to existing infrastructure.
