Recover
Separate recyclable materials and prepare suitable low-carbon feedstock.
A long-term platform for low-carbon flight
ICF’s sustainable aviation fuel vision begins with the dependable feedstock infrastructure created by ReFind and extends through proven pathways for synthetic fuel production and carbon management.
Why the two platforms connect
Low-carbon fuel projects need consistent, specification-controlled feedstock at meaningful scale.
ReFind creates the infrastructure to recover and prepare useful carbon streams. That front-end control can support future synthetic-fuels development while producing valuable materials and community benefits today.
Conceptual integrated pathway
Separate recyclable materials and prepare suitable low-carbon feedstock.
Gasification converts prepared feedstock into hydrogen- and carbon-rich synthesis gas.
Syngas conditioning removes contaminants and separates concentrated carbon dioxide.
Fischer–Tropsch conversion builds clean liquid hydrocarbon molecules.
Product upgrading creates drop-in sustainable aviation fuel and co-products.
Development principles
Integrate established processes and qualified technology partners rather than depend on a single unproven breakthrough.
Develop future fuel systems with carbon separation, transport, and permanent storage considered from the start.
Advance projects around durable feedstock, logistics, product, policy, and capital structures.
Build the pathway with us
We work with technology providers, fuel buyers, carbon-management partners, industrial sites, and long-term capital.
