2025 Q3 Stakeholder Update
Over the past few months, we’ve launched fresh collaborations, deepened longtime partnerships, and hit major milestones. We’re excited to bring you our latest updates.
We are pleased to announce Dimensional Energy’s selection of Fluor as our EPC partner for FEL-2 of our commercial sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) plant in British Columbia. Emerging from a robust competitive solicitation process, Fluor impressed us with their creative approach to rethinking the standard FEL (Front-End Loading) process. Their approach works in service to commercializing technologies and enabling projects to achieve a favorable final investment decision (FID) with a strong foundation from the very beginning.
This study, funded by Boeing, not only advances the potential for next generation SAF production in British Columbia, it importantly provides us with high-fidelity process designs and costs for projects ranging from 1000 to 5000+ barrels per day, building our capacity to support a wide range of customers around the globe.
This is excellent timing, as we recently secured our first licensing customer for our Fischer-Tropsch (FT) catalyst. We’re calling our FT catalyst technology DEFT, both to reference Dimensional Energy (DE) and Fischer-Tropsch (FT), and because deft is an apt descriptor of our skillful catalyst and technology team. In other exciting news, we’ve also secured a contract and long term MOU with a global petrochemicals manufacturer. Stay tuned for more information on these advancing projects and please reach out if you want to consider DEFT for your next project.
Our first-of-a-kind CO₂ utilization pilot located alongside the Amrize (previously Lafarge) Canada Richmond, BC cement plant operated successfully from March to September, transforming approximately one ton of emissions daily from the flue-stack into useful synthetic hydrocarbons that were purchased by a consumer products company. The pilot achieved all its goals and demonstrated excellent performance by both catalysts. With data from that pilot and continued data collection from our plant in Tucson, AZ, and lab in Ithaca, NY, we continue to optimize our catalysts, reactors and processes.
In another exciting collaboration, Dimensional Energy is hosting Masters’ and PhD students from MIT again this fall. This time they are working with our R&D team in Ithaca, NY to uncover relationships and factors that will help to optimize the performance of our Fischer-Tropsch reactor. We are also working with a Three Cairns Fellowship team of Columbia Business School students supporting development of our go-to-market initatives for the DEFT catalyst technology.

Over the past few months, our team has been on the move - connecting with partners, sharing ideas, and representing our work at conferences and events worldwide.
In June, we presented at the New York Society of Cosmetic Chemists Suppliers conference discussing the opportunity of CO₂ as a feedstock to create safe and clean cosmetics ingredients.
We traveled to Atlanta, GA, where the team had an inspiring poster presentation at the North American Catalysis Society Meeting. Following that, we headed to two more catalyst conferences: the American Chemical Society conference in Washington, DC and the Global Syngas Technology Council annual conference in San Diego, CA. Chief Science Officer Dr. Bradley Brennan spoke at both events highlighting new developments and the strong performance of our catalysts in various test campaigns in the lab and the plant.
Rounding out the summer, CEO Jason Salfi contributed to a robust discussion about the scale up of SAF production during New York Climate Week, and we sponsored an event with New Climate Ventures during Houston Climate Week.
Last month, Jason also spoke at the Sustainable Aviation Futures North America conference in Houston and at the Hydrogen and Carbon Capture Technology Expo in Hamburg, Germany. He focused his discussions at both events on radical collaboration, noting that it’s not technology that determines progress, it’s people. We either make it or break it.
As we progress on our mission of making cleaner molecules to move the world, we are looking for doers who bring fresh thinking and creative ways of working together to get projects developed, financed and operating. We’ll bring our tech expertise and a vast array of business and technical services. What will you bring?
How can we collaborate together today for a brighter future tomorrow?
