Turn non‑CO₂ Aviation Effects from hidden liability into a strategic asset.
tLCAF is an ASTM D1655/D7566‑compliant, drop‑in aviation fuel engineered to comply with the EU’s non‑CO₂ reporting regime. With 8-10% aromatics and 10-15 ppm sulfur, tLCAF gives airlines verifiable reductions in contrails and SOx, so they can report primary data, not punitive default values, under Regulation (EU) 2024/2493.

The Shift
ContextFrom CO₂‑only narratives to full climate scope: Non‑CO₂ effects (persistent contrail cirrus, NOx, and SOx) now account for roughly two‑thirds of aviation’s climate impact. The EU has moved them from scientific footnote to reportable, soon‑to‑be‑priced liabilities.
Regulatory Trigger
⚠️Airlines operating in the EEA must now monitor, report, and verify non‑CO₂ effects. The first verified reports are due 31 March 2026.
Default Value Trap
⚖️Where airlines cannot provide primary fuel data, NEATS assumes worst‑case Jet A‑1: 25% aromatics and 3000 ppm sulfur.
Strategic Lever
📊Each tonne of tLCAF comes with verifiable fuel properties. Airlines can feed this into NEATS as primary data and opt out of default penalties.
Positioning: tLCAF vs Jet A‑1 vs SAF
Comparative Analysis| Solution | Non‑CO₂ Effect | CO₂ Impact | Cost Signal (Demo) | 2025–26 Scalability |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Jet A‑1 | High Contrails, High SOx | Baseline | ~$700/tonne | High (Default) |
| SAF (HEFA) | Blend-Limited | Lifecycle Reduction | 2–5× Jet A‑1 | Very Low (<1%) |
| Nav. Avoidance | High Potential | +0.5–2% CO₂ Penalty | $4/flight - $14/tCO₂e | Low (ATC Limits) |
| tLCAF (DM-XTech) | High Reduction | Neutral Lifecycle | 2.5× Jet A‑1 | High (Refinery) |
Next Step: Verified Flight Data
ExecutionQ1/Q2 2026 Demonstration
Our immediate objective is to secure a Tier‑1 launch partner for a 5–10 flight tLCAF demonstration in Q1/Q2 2026. Those flights create the empirical backbone for your first non‑CO₂ report: fuel specs, trajectories, and satellite‑verified contrail outcomes.
