Energy World Article by David Benton
In May 2010 The Energy Institute Journal ‘Energy World’ published an article by Air Fuel Synthesis R+D Director David Benton. In this article he surveys various alternatives to fossil-based fuels and outlines the manufacture process and potential benefits of AFS fuels.
Air Fuel Synthesis - update
The development of air fuel synthesis fuel continues – a business plan and development program has now been agreed and funding discussions are underway with several public and private sector organisations. There is collaboration with UK university researchers with a view to developing new intellectual property and research programs – the most exciting research focuses on capturing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and producing a concentrated gas stream.
AFS is a method of making fuels, ranging from petrol to diesel and Jet-A, using renewable energy with the raw materials of water, and carbon dioxide from air. We believe AFS fuels offer a better solution to any other alternative fuel source.

The E-Skin – Exterior Superinsulation
An insulation system known as the ‘e-skin’ has been applied to the outside of the house at West Beacon Farm. The e-skin is made from strawbales and other natural materials and superinsulates the outside of the house whilst leaving the inside of the house untouched.
