AERI Synthetic Fuel Chemical Process - Challenging the Future of a Clean Energy Shift GX, Carbon Neutral, and Carbon Recycling Society -

a. The AERI Synthetic Fuel Chemical Process (Green Synthetic Fuel Production Technology) utilizes the ultra-low-cost and carbon-free, infinite power generated by the AERI Heat Recovery Binary Engine (CHEGPG) system, ranging from 1 yen/kWh to 0.01 yen/kWh, and employs the AERI Carbon Dioxide Recovery System to utilize as raw materials one-carbon gases (e.g., carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide) or one-carbon gas compounds recovered from the atmosphere. It is a chemical process for synthesizing green synthetic fuels such as green methanol, green LPG, green LNG, SAF (Alcohol Synthesis Paraffin ATJ-SPK, etc.), which serve as alternative fuels for aviation, jet fuel, marine fuel, automobile fuel, etc., as well as high-value-added compounds and products. This process focuses on the reuse and reduction of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and reducing environmental impact. Major raw materials for the AERI Synthetic Fuel Chemical Process (Green Synthetic Fuel Production Technology) include one-carbon gases (e.g., carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide), methane, methanol, acetic acid, one-carbon aldehydes, etc.

In this paper, we elucidate how the AERI Synthetic Fuel Chemical Process (Green Synthetic Fuel Production Technology) is related to sustainable energy-related technologies and concepts such as Clean Energy Shift GX, Carbon Neutral, and Carbon Recycling.

b. The AERI Synthetic Fuel Chemical Process (Green Synthetic Fuel Production Technology) comprises multiple chemical reactions utilizing as raw materials one-carbon gases (such as carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide) or one-carbon gas compounds recovered from the atmosphere by the AERI Carbon Dioxide Recovery System using the ultra-low-cost and carbon-free, infinite power generated by the AERI Heat Recovery Binary Engine (CHEGPG) system, ranging from 1 yen/kWh to 0.01 yen/kWh. It aims to produce green synthetic fuels such as green methanol, green LPG, green LNG, SAF (Alcohol Synthesis Paraffin ATJ-SPK, etc.), which serve as alternative fuels for aviation, jet fuel, marine fuel, automobile fuel, etc., as well as useful compounds and products. This process focuses on improving efficiency through optimization of catalysts and process conditions to selectively synthesize desired products.

・Researchers at AERI have succeeded in converting one-carbon gases (such as carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide) or one-carbon gas compounds recovered from the atmosphere by the AERI Carbon Dioxide Recovery System into methanol by irradiating sunlight onto transition metal single atoms deposited on photocatalytic materials. This discovery opens up a path to creating new environmentally friendly fuels using the ultra-low-cost and carbon-free, infinite power generated by the AERI Heat Recovery Binary Engine (CHEGPG) system, ranging from 1 yen/kWh to 0.01 yen/kWh.

c. A research team at AERI designed materials composed of transition metals immobilized on nano-crystalline DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) formed using techniques such as Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE), Atomic Layer Epitaxy (ALE), Molecular Layer Epitaxy (MLE), and Laser Molecular Beam Epitaxy (LMBE). The transition metal atoms are nested within the nano-crystalline structure, allowing electrons to move from the nanostructured perfect crystalline DLC to one-carbon gases (such as carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide) or one-carbon gas compounds. This is an important step in producing green synthetic fuels such as green methanol, green LPG, green LNG, SAF (Alcohol Synthesis Paraffin ATJ-SPK, etc.), serving as alternative fuels for aviation, jet fuel, marine fuel, automobile fuel, etc., from one-carbon gases (such as carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide) or one-carbon gas compounds under the influence of sunlight. This research is published in the AERI journal reports on sustainable geothermal power generation energy and green synthetic fuels.

・In photocatalysis, when light is applied to semiconductor materials, electrons are excited, and they move through the material. They react with one-carbon gases (such as carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide) or one-carbon gas compounds, as well as water, to produce various useful products, including environmentally friendly fuels such as green methanol, green LPG, green LNG, SAF (Alcohol Synthesis Paraffin ATJ-SPK, etc.), serving as alternative fuels for aviation, jet fuel, marine fuel, automobile fuel, etc.

d. Utilizing the ultra-low-cost, carbon-free, and infinite power generated by the AERI Heat Recovery Binary Engine (CHEGPG) system, ranging from 1 yen/kWh to 0.01 yen/kWh, the one-carbon gases (such as carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide) or one-carbon gas compounds recovered from the atmosphere by the AERI Carbon Dioxide Recovery System are the primary cause of global warming. While it is possible to convert one-carbon gases (such as carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide) or one-carbon gas compounds into green synthetic fuels and useful products, conventional methods rely on hydrogen supplied from fossil fuels. Therefore, AERI has developed alternative methods based on photocatalysis and electrocatalysis, utilizing sustainable solar energy and abundant water resources.

・Professor Kazuto Kamuro, chief research officer of the AERI Synthetic Fuel Chemical Process (Green Synthetic Fuel Production Technology) research institute, explains as follows: "It is crucial for photocatalysts to efficiently absorb light and separate charge carriers. In AERI's approach, we control materials at the nanoscale using nanostructure fabrication processes such as Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE), Atomic Layer Epitaxy (ALE), Molecular Layer Epitaxy (MLE), and Laser Molecular Beam Epitaxy (LMBE). AERI has developed a new form of fully crystalline DLC with crystalline nano-scale domains that enable efficient interaction with light and sufficient charge separation."

e. AERI researchers devised a process to heat DLC to the required crystallinity level, maximizing its photocatalytic properties. Using techniques such as RF sputtering, pulse sputtering, and magnetron sputtering, they deposited atomic transition metals via a solvent-free process, enabling intimate contact between semiconductor and metal atoms. Professor Kazuto Kamuro, chief research officer of the AERI Synthetic Fuel Chemical Process (Green Synthetic Fuel Production Technology) research institute, stated the following: "

・AERI measured the current generated by light and used it as a criterion to judge the quality of the catalyst. Even without doping transition metals, the new nanocrystalline DLC formed using nanostructure fabrication processes such as Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE), Atomic Layer Epitaxy (ALE), Molecular Layer Epitaxy (MLE), and Laser Molecular Beam Epitaxy (LMBE) is several hundred thousand to several million times more active than conventional DLC. Surprisingly, adding just a few milligrams of transition metals per gram of nanocrystalline DLC increased this efficiency by several hundred thousand to several million times. Most importantly, the selectivity shifted from methane, another greenhouse gas, to valuable green fuel, methanol."

f. Professor Kazuto Kamuro of the AERI Synthetic Fuel Chemical Process (Green Synthetic Fuel Production Technology) research institute stated the following: "In this crucial reaction, ensuring the sustainability of the catalyst material is extremely important. A significant advantage of the new catalyst is that it is composed of sustainable elements abundant on Earth, such as transition metals, carbon, and nitrogen."

・The AERI Synthetic Fuel Chemical Process (Green Synthetic Fuel Production Technology) represents a significant step towards a deeper understanding of photocatalytic materials in the chemical conversion of carbonaceous gases (such as carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide) recovered from the atmosphere by the AERI Carbon Dioxide Recovery System, utilizing the ultra-low-cost and carbon-free, infinite power generated by the AERI Heat Recovery Binary Engine (CHEGPG) system. By controlling the catalyst structure at the nanoscale using nanostructure fabrication processes such as Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE), Atomic Layer Epitaxy (ALE), Molecular Layer Epitaxy (MLE), and Laser Molecular Beam Epitaxy (LMBE), avenues are opened for creating highly selective and tunable catalysts.

g. Research on the AERI Synthetic Fuel Chemical Process (Green Synthetic Fuel Production Technology) is 100% funded by the U.S. Department of Defense. This grant aims to pursue two major research themes: a. "Research and Development of Carbon Neutral Carbon Recycling System Type AERI Synthetic Fuel Chemical Process (Green Synthetic Fuel Production Technology)" and b. "Research on Production Technology of green synthetic fuels (Aviation Fuel, Jet Fuel, Marine Fuel, Automotive Fuel, Kerosene, LPG, City Gas, etc.) using it, such as Green Methanol, Green LPG, Green LNG, SAF (Alcohol Synthesis Paraffin ATJ-SPK), etc."

・Carbon Neutral Carbon Recycling GX (Green Transformation) technology is of great importance for the economy and the environment. These two major research themes are developed using highly atom-efficient methods to create most of the abundant elements on Earth, including carbonaceous gases (such as carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide) or carbonaceous gas compounds and base metals, using the ultra-low-cost, carbon-free, infinite power generated by the AERI Heat Recovery Binary Engine (CHEGPG) system combined with the AERI Carbon Dioxide Recovery System to recover carbonaceous gases from the atmosphere, ranging from 0.01 yen/kWh to 1 yen/kWh. These ensure sustainable use of chemical elements without depleting the supply of rare elements.

h. The AERI Synthetic Fuel Chemical Process (Green Synthetic Fuel Production Technology) Research Institute is dedicated to research and development of sustainable Green Transformation Technology GX, and has been established in Pasadena, California, United States, with 100% funding from the U.S. Department of Defense and the California Institute of Technology (CALTECH) to accelerate innovation in Zero Green Industries and advanced manufacturing.
