\r\n In 2025, global climate governance has entered a critical phase, with carbon neutrality emerging as a core agenda for countries worldwide. Against this backdrop, a media briefing themed Joining Hands to Accelerate the Era of \u2018New Carbon Source\u2019 Using Air as Feedstock kicked off in Shanghai on August 1st. The event aimed to bring together stakeholders across sectors to explore the development pathways of the \u2018new carbon source\u2019 era based on air-derived feedstock, injecting fresh impetus into the global carbon neutrality drive. Recent high-profile milestones of Carbonology, including the completion of its angel round financing and the signing of a cooperation agreement with the Lingang Special Area, added notable highlights to the briefing.<\/span>

\r\n At the briefing, Ren Yuxiang, Founder of Carbonology, publicly elaborated on the company\u2019s development philosophy and vision for the first time: Carbon is the new oil. In today\u2019s world, oil, natural gas and coal serve not only as energy sources but also as the carbon backbone sustaining modern society. The key to achieving global carbon neutrality lies in ceasing the extraction of fossil fuels, which cannot be realized without finding viable alternatives for both energy and carbon sources. While renewable energy is gradually replacing fossil energy, the replacement of carbon sources remains an unresolved challenge. Biomass is constrained by the annual productivity of natural photosynthesis and cannot meet industrial demands. The only solution is to capture carbon dioxide on a large scale from the air or oceans and convert it into a wide range of carbon-based products essential to modern life.<\/span><\/span>\r\n <\/section>\r\n <\/section>\r\n <\/section>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/section>\r\n

\r\n Zhang Hongxi, Co-founder and General Manager of Carbonology, stated, \u2018Carbonology\u2019s technological roadmap aligns with the global energy transition needs. China boasts the world\u2019s most complete chemical industry chain, providing a unique landscape for the commercialization of carbon capture technologies. Our flagship product is sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), which addresses the pressing emission reduction challenges in the aviation sector and will break the industry\u2019s reliance on traditional fossil-based aviation fuel. The ongoing project is the world\u2019s first industrial initiative to produce SAF directly from air-captured carbon dioxide. Direct air  capture (DAC) sources CO\u2082 from the atmosphere, overcoming the geographical limitations of conventional carbon capture methods and creating entirely new industrial opportunities that will drive an energy revolution.\u2019 He emphasized, \u2018This endeavor stands at the technological forefront of the new energy sector. Moreover, the integrated platform we are building\u2014covering R&D validation, engineering scale-up and industrial output\u2014will provide a reusable green technology support system for the entire new energy industry.\u2019<\/span><\/span>\r\n <\/p>\r\n

\r\n Journalist\u2019s Question 2:What challenges does sustainable aviation fuel face in market promotion, and what strategies has Carbonology adopted to address them?<\/span>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/section>\r\n <\/section>\r\n <\/section>\r\n <\/section>\r\n

\r\n
\r\n \"\u56fe\u7247\"\r\n <\/section>\r\n
\r\n
\r\n
\r\n

\r\n Answer: From a policy perspective, China\u2019s Carbon Peaking Action Plan Before 2030 has included the aviation industry as a key sector in the national carbon market. The EU\u2019s ReFuelEU Aviation regulation mandates mandatory SAF blending ratios: no less than 2% by 2025, 6% by 2030 and 70% by 2050. In September 2024, 12 domestic flights successfully operated with SAF blends, marking a historic breakthrough in the green transition of China\u2019s aviation sector. Currently, the promotion of SAF faces two primary challenges: relatively high production costs and low market awareness. To tackle these issues, the company will prioritize technological iteration to drive cost reduction, launch market education initiatives and collaborative promotion campaigns, and leverage policy support and industry synergy to increase market penetration. In the long run, as technologies mature and economies of scale are achieved, SAF will enjoy broad market prospects.<\/span><\/span>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/section>\r\n <\/section>\r\n <\/section>\r\n

\r\n
\r\n

\r\n <\/span>\r\n <\/p>\r\n

\r\n Answer: Following the completion of its angel round financing, Carbonology officially signed a cooperation agreement with the Administrative Committee of the Lingang Special Area of China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone on July 29, 2025. Concurrently, the company\u2019s first R&D and Innovation Center was officially inaugurated in Shanghai Lingang.<\/span>\r\n <\/p>\r\n

\r\n <\/span>\r\n <\/p>\r\n

\r\n Mr. Ren Yuxiang commented, \u2018This signing represents a pivotal step for Carbonology on its path to technology industrialization. It will accelerate the commercialization of our technologies, achieving dual goals of reducing energy consumption and costs while increasing production capacity and efficiency.\u2019<\/span>\r\n <\/p>\r\n

\r\n <\/span>\r\n <\/p>\r\n

\r\n Mr. Zhang Hongxi added, \u2018The R&D and Innovation Center will facilitate the transformation of core technologies from laboratory-scale to industrial application. We aim to produce the first demo SAF in 2025. This will be a crucial first step toward closing the commercial loop and will provide a scalable technological roadmap for the global energy structure transition.\u2019<\/span>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/section>\r\n <\/section>\r\n <\/section>\r\n

\r\n

\r\n Answer: Carbonology is advancing the world\u2019s first industrial project to produce SAF via DAC, with the goal of producing the first demo fuel in 2025. The project timeline is clearly defined: a kiloton-scale pilot plant will be developed in 2026; a 100,000-ton commercial project will be launched in 2027; and from 2028 onward, the company will continue to optimize cost control, expand its portfolio of green carbon-based products and serve the global market. Carbonology will further strengthen its technological barriers, accelerate the construction of pilot production lines and optimize process technologies, providing replicable and scalable commercial solutions for carbon reduction efforts in China and around the world.<\/span><\/span>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/section>\r\n <\/section>\r\n <\/section>\r\n
