Key Takeaways:

Exosonic and carbon transformation company Twelve have partnered to fuel Exosonic's supersonic jet engines with Twelve's sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
Twelve's proprietary "E-Jet" technology uses electrolysis to convert CO2 and water into drop-in ready jet fuel, boasting 90% lower lifecycle emissions.
This SAF will power Exosonic's supersonic unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and future airliners, with the U.S. Air Force also validating Twelve's technology for military applications and funding Exosonic's UAV demonstrator program.
