## About

Founded in 2021 by Leigh Hackett (CCO), Saurabh Kapoor (CEO), and Ulrich Koss (Chief Technologist), and based in Adliswil, Switzerland, Metafuels AG operates as a renewable energy platform that engages in providing sustainable fuel to the aviation department. In February 2026, Metafuels AG raised USD 24 million in series A funding led by Unternehmertum Venture Capital, with participation from Energy Impact Partners, Contrarian Ventures, Rock Creek Group, Verve Ventures, and Fortescue Future Industries.

The firm develops sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) technology developed in collaboration with Paul Scherrer Institut that offers net zero emissions. The fuel, aerobrew, converts green methanol, derived from renewable feedstocks like green hydrogen and sustainably sourced CO2, into sustainable aviation fuel.

The company plans to use the series A funding to develop its methanol-to-jet demonstration plant in Switzerland and advance plans for a commercial-scale e-SAF facility at the Port of Rotterdam.
