Twelve, Alaska Airlines, Microsoft partner to advance CO2-to-Jet fuel

In Berkeley, California, carbon transformation company Twelve, Alaska Air Group, and Microsoft have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to collaborate on advancing the market for SAF to include fuels derived from recaptured CO2 and renewable energy.

Under the terms of the agreement, the partners will work to advance production and use of Twelve’s E-Jet, a low carbon jet fuel and will also work toward a demonstration flight using E-Jet, and to supply the fuel to address some of Microsoft’s business travel on Alaska.

“Alaska is on a path to net zero by 2040, which will require sustainable aviation fuels like Twelve’s E-Jet,” said Diana Birkett Rakow, senior vice president of public affairs and sustainability at Alaska Airlines. “We are committed to making SAF more widely available, at an affordable price, helping bring new alternatives to market, and using these fuels in our operation – a path that requires public policy action and private partnerships like this one.”
