The Engine Ventures led the round, with Wireframe Ventures and others participating. The funding will be used to expand Sora Fuel's Boston-based team, develop commercialization partnerships and further advance the company's novel technology.

Sora Fuel produces sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) from CO2 directly captured from the air. The company's groundbreakingly-efficient, closed-loop production system leverages a patented bicarbonate electrolyzer that relies only on water and renewable electricity. Sora Fuel was conceived within Engine Ventures based on technology from Curtis Berlinguette's lab at the University of British Columbia.
