Pennsylvania's latest energy chapter: Air to fuel

(The Center Square) – Pennsylvania’s longstanding role as a leader in energy production is entering a new chapter with the arrival of a company that is turning air into fuel. AIRCO, formerly Air Company, recently relocated from Brooklyn, N.Y. to Bucks County, Pa., to start a new hub for research, development, engineering, and manufacturing of advanced fuel technologies. Its proprietary AIRMADE technologies convert carbon dioxide into synthetic fuels – including diesel and jet fuel – which the company says could have implications for national security and global fuel supply. Although the facility will produce some fuel, its primary focus is manufacturing its MAD (Mobile, Adaptable, and Dynamic) Fuel Systems, which are designed to produce fuel near the point of use, potentially reducing dependence on vulnerable fuel supply lines. “For over a century, fuel has been produced in centralized refineries and shipped around the world. We’re changing that,” said Gregory Constantine, co-founder and CEO of AIRCO , at a ribbon-cutting event on Oct. 28. “This facility enables us to manufacture autonomous systems that produce fuel anywhere, on demand. It’s a fundamental shift from fuel as a commodity to fuel as infrastructure.” Constantine said they plan to mass manufacture modular e-fuel production
