This new factory just commercialized jet fuel made from CO2

# CO2 Is Now Being Turned Into Jet Fuel at Commercial Scale A Washington State factory just started converting captured carbon dioxide into jet fuel that airlines will begin using on actual passenger flights this month. The fuel is chemically identical to regular jet fuel, though planes currently need to blend it with traditional fuel because the synthetic version lacks certain molecules that aircraft seals were originally designed around.
