Jet Fuel from Carbon Dioxide – New Science Project in Israel

jet fuel carbon dioxide israel
More clean tech innovation from Israel? Researchers Prof. Moti Herskowitz and Prof. Miron Landau from Ben Gurion University in Israel were recently awarded a highly competitive Israel Strategic Alternative Energy Foundation (I-SAEF) grant to further their groundbreaking research in liquid fuels. Herskowitz heads the BGU Energy Initiative, which is developing multiple alternative fuels from solar energy to biomass to replace the world’s dependence on oil. He was also recently appointed to head the National Committee on Energy research and development. Their focus will be on jet fuel.

Their research program will be aimed at determining the feasibility of the Fe-based catalytic system in CO2 hydrogenation to jet fuel while developing improved iron-based catalysts that when coupled with the proper process considerations (reactor type and operating conditions) will give improved catalyst performance (selectivity to jet fuel that contains higher hydrocarbons including aromatics, stable operation, and high activity).

Successful completion of the study, which is part of a wider scope program will facilitate commercially viable applications of carbon dioxide hydrogenation for the production of jet fuel, according to Herskowitz.

What are AWG air-water generators, and why they aren’t a golden-bullet solution (yet)

Atmospheric water generators (AWGs) sound like magic: machines that can pull drinking water out of air. The idea is mentioned in the Bible, where the elders would pray for water collected as dew on plants and the catch on turning this into a machine is in the physics. To turn invisible vapor into liquid, you must remove heat, especially the latent heat of condensation.

Jordan’s $6 Billion Aqaba–Amman Desalination Project from the Red Sea Moves Forward

In 2025, the Jordanian government signed agreements with a consortium led by Meridiam and SUEZ, alongside VINCI Construction and Orascom Construction. Under a 30-year concession agreement, the consortium will design, build, finance, operate, and maintain the system before transferring it back to the Jordanian government. The total investment is estimated at approximately $6 billion USD.

The Saudi Startup Turning Desalination’s Toxic Waste Into Its Own Disinfectant

For millennia, the Middle East's water crisis seemed an immutable fact of geography — a region defined as much by what it lacked as by what lay beneath its sands. Today, a convergence of plummeting solar costs, advancing membrane technology, and hard-won engineering expertise is rewriting that story.
