Twelve has opened AirPlant One in Moses Lake, Washington, the first commercial-scale U.S. plant to make E-Jet sustainable aviation fuel from captured CO2, water and renewable electricity.
The PtL facility marks the shift from pilot output to commercial production for drop-in eSAF. Alaska Airlines and Microsoft joined the opening, and the plant is designed to supply regular domestic service with E-Jet while proving a route to lower-carbon fuel that works in existing aircraft and fuel systems.
Initial output is modest at about 50,000 gallons a year, but the opening gives the sector a live commercial reference point. Scale, unit cost and repeatable deployment will now decide whether AirPlant One becomes a template or a one-off.
