U.S.A.F. is trying to make jet fuel from CO2 in air!

The U.S. Air Force has partnered with carbon transformation company Twelve to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) in air into jet fuel, technology that will enable it to access fuel at anytime and anywhere.

Separate from carbon capture and storage or carbon utilization, carbon transformation can turn carbon dioxide from the air into nearly any chemical, material, or fuel, including jet fuel.

In 2020, Air Force Operational Energy endorsed Twelve to launch a pilot program to demonstrate that their proprietary technology could convert CO2 into operationally viable aviation fuel called E-Jet.
