About

Metafuels was founded in 2019 in Zurich, Switzerland by Leigh Hackett, Saurabh Kapoor, and Ulrich Koss, who bring decades of experience in the energy and power industries. The company developed 'aerobrew', a proprietary thermochemical process — built in collaboration with the Paul Scherrer Institut — that converts green methanol into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). Metafuels has raised over $33M across multiple rounds (including a $9M seed and a $24M Series A) to industrialize its production technology. The company is developing its first commercial eSAF production plant in Rotterdam in partnership with Evos, targeting the massive demand for drop-in sustainable jet fuel.
