Today marks an exciting milestone for OXCCU! We’re proud to announce the opening of our OX1 plant at Oxford Airport, a world-first demonstration plant converting CO2 and green hydrogen directly to jet fuel range hydrocarbons in a unique single-step process. OX1 showcases British innovation at its best, developed through a decade of research at the University of Oxford and supported by both significant industry and government investment. This plant will set the stage for our larger OX2 plant at Saltend, helping us deliver cost-effective, scalable PtL SAF. We look forward to showing media and investors around over the coming days. Thanks to BusinessGreen for covering our news - https://lnkd.in/eQmmbFBp #SAF #PtL #Innovation #ClimateTech #OX1Plant

Converting CO₂ into fuels, chemicals and plastics.
About us
At OXCCU, we are at the forefront of scientific advancement, shaping the future of sustainable energy and fuel, chemical and plastic production. We combine CO2 from the air with H2 from water and renewable electricity, producing lower carbon or circular fuels, chemicals, and biodegradable plastics. Carbon is an incredibly useful element, especially when used in hydrocarbons. Our mission is to enable future generations the continued use of hydrocarbon fuels but without their climate impact. Despite the growing prevalence of renewable energy, fossil fuels still accounted for 82% of the 604 EJ of primary energy the world needed in 2022. To limit the impact of greenhouse gas emissions, we must transition to zero-emission sources within just 30 years. While some sectors, such as power, are already on this path, not all sectors are easy-to-decarbonise using renewable electricity directly. In particular, long-distance aviation transport fuels, with energy density requirements beyond current batteries, and petrochemicals, where carbon molecules become the multitude of products we use in our everyday lives. Here is where OXCCU offers a unique solution. Our inexpensive catalysts work with remarkable efficiency and selectivity, transforming CO2 into valuable hydrocarbons through a groundbreaking one-step process. CO2 can be transformed into e- fuels, sustainable chemicals and biodegradable plastics. This is the future of truly circular technological advancements. One where people can fly, use household chemicals and buy disposable and biodegradable plastic products without concerns about their impact on climate change or waste disposal. The company was spun out from the University of Oxford in 2021 by co-founders Andrew Symes whilst working at IP Group and Jane Jin whilst working at OUI, and is underpinned by scientific breakthroughs published in top-tier scientific journals by the academic founders, Professor Peter Edwards, Dr Tiancun Xiao and Dr Benzhen Yao.

Our demo plant has finally arrived! Exciting time for us in the next few months.
OX1 HAS LANDED! A huge weekend for OXCCU TECH LTD as our OX1 plant was lifted into position at our Oxford Airport site. Now for the final assembly and commissioning ahead of our August opening. This plant will be the first demonstration at this scale of CO2 and H2 into long chain hydrocarbons in a single step with our novel catalyst. #SAF #PtL #demoplant

Today OXCCU TECH LTD has announced its agreement with px Group to develop a First-of-a-Kind (FOAK) demonstration plant at Saltend Chemicals Park in the #Humber region. The project will directly convert carbon dioxide and green hydrogen into jet fuel range hydrocarbons suitable for #SAF, a novel approach to production as it simplifies what is normally a multi-step process to a single step. #SAF #FOAK #PtL https://lnkd.in/epRjpDUR

Looking forward to being at Innovation Zero in London tomorrow and Wednesday - if you're attending then please do let us know. We'll have an OXCCU TECH LTD stand at B57 so come and say hi, and please do join me for my session at 12:45 on Wednesday in the Innovation Aviation & Shipping Forum where I'll be talking about how we can scale #SAF production with CO2 derived fuel.

Today, the Department for Transport (DfT), United Kingdom announced its guidance on the recent Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) mandates, including new targets for ensuring 10% of all jet fuel in flights leaving the UK will come from sustainable sources by 2030. At OXCCU TECH LTD we’re particularly excited to see the PtL sub mandate in the guidance as it signifies the general acceptance of the key role these fuels will play in producing SAF at scale and in reducing global aviation emissions to meet global targets. With theoretically unlimited carbon dioxide feedstocks available, PtL technology provides the path to making low-cost, scalable alternatives to existing fossil based jet fuel products. And with the right funding and mandates in place, we can start building efuel plants in the UK. This announcement affirms the UK's position as a leader in sustainable aviation, and with the support of new technologies like OXCCU future generations can experience the continued use of hydrocarbon fuels but without their climate impact. #SAF #Regulation #EFuels #PtL
