Zero is a manufacturer of non-biological e-fuel claimed to be carbon-neutral[2][3][4] co-founded by former Formula One engineer Paddy Lowe.[5][6] Its product is designed as an alternative to fossil-based fuels and a more scalable sustainable alternative to waste and bio-fuels.[7]
In 2021, the Royal Air Force used its fuel to achieve a World Record first flight powered by synthetic fuel.[8] In July 2022, Zero entered a new partnership with the Royal Air Force to move towards mass production of sustainable aviation fuel.[9][10][11]
