Today, we have a great episode with Joe Rodden from Lydian. And we are talking all things eFuels and their story.

Lydian uses Co2, Water, and abundant Green Energy to create eFuels/SAF. And because of their flexible run method, they can do it profitably, consistently.

In the recent past there has been a huge demand for SAF that has been hard for major airlines to procure. In part because the technology was not there, but mostly because there were no plants up and operating.

SAF plants are assumed to look like chemical production facilities… ie: always on. This way the cost of the investment is paid back soon.

Lydian made sure they used inexpensive materials to create their system. And they made it to start and stop whenever there is excess electricity being produced. It’s a game changer.

On top of this, Joe has a great story.

A story that I’m sure you’ll enjoy on today’s episode. Let us know your thoughts by leaving a comment and giving us 5 stars on your favorite podcast app.
