An Oxfordshire firm which converts carbon dioxide and hydrogen into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) has been awarded a £1.8m grant to investigate the effects of its synthetic fuel beyond carbon dioxide.

Kidlington-based OXCCU is the first SAF company to receive funding through the ATI Non-CO2 Programme, delivered by the Aerospace Technology Institute (ATI) in partnership with the Department for Business and Trade and Innovate UK – part of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI).

With a total funding cost of £3m, the project will run until June 2027 and aims to better understand how to minimise the non-CO2 effects of OXCCU’s synthetic OXFUEL.

It will ultimately help transition the company from demonstration to full-scale operations.
