Dimensional Energy, a nascent company that uses a renewable energy process to make aviation fuel and related products, took the wraps off its new $2 million fuel production facility in Arizona at an unveiling on Dec. 6.
Headquartered in Ithica, New York, Dimensional Energy inked a purchase agreement in 2021 with Chicago-based United Airlines to buy 300 million gallons of the company's sustainable aviation fuel. United Airlines Ventures, the technology investment arm of the airline, was an early investor in Dimensional Energy.
Dimensional Energy CEO Jason Salfi, in hard hat, speaks with reporters who attended the company’s ribbon-cutting ceremony in Tucson on Dec. 6.“United has made early investments in cutting-edge technologies at all levels of the supply chain, staking out our position as a leader in aviation sustainability and innovation,” said United Airlines Ventures President Mike Leskinen, in a statement.
“Partnerships in difficult to decarbonize sectors of our economy such as aviation, trucking, shipping, cement, and paper are unlocking Dimensional’s potential to address 10% of global emissions with our holistic model for using emissions from one industry to reduce emissions from another,” said Dimensional Energy co-founder and CEO Jason Salfi, in a statement.
