Aether Fuels, a leader in sustainable fuels technology, sought a process engineer with a passion for scaling innovative solutions. We introduced them to Scott Tatro.
Envisioning a net-zero world, Aether Fuels creates sustainable liquid fuels from low-cost and abundant waste carbon streams. Backed by AP Ventures, Chevron Technology Ventures, JetBlue Ventures, Foothill Ventures, TechEnergy Ventures, Doral Energy-Tech Ventures, CPD Ventures, Zeon Ventures Inc., and Xora Innovation, their solutions are making sustainable aviation and ocean shipping fuels more cost-effective.
To refine their highly efficient Aurora technology—a unique process that innovates around third-party Fischer-Tropsch (FT) technology, including 1. An electric tri-converter handling reverse water gas shift (RWGS), methane reforming and dry reforming, and 2. A novel FT product upgrader —they needed a senior process engineer with expertise in modeling, simulation, and optimization.
Scott Tatro, a dedicated process engineer with Aspen HYSYS and RWGS reactors expertise and a proven track record in scaling biofuel production processes, quickly caught our attention. Scott’s ability to model complex chemical processes and conduct thorough feasibility studies was exactly what Aether Fuels needed. Additionally, his collaborative approach and experience working across disciplines made him a natural fit for advancing their innovative Aurora process.
We’re thrilled to have connected Scott with Aether Fuels. His technical acumen and resourcefulness will be invaluable as they continue to advance their technology, driving the decarbonization of critical industries. Congratulations to both Scott and Aether Fuels!
