Senior Media Producer

Prometheus Fuels

Santa Cruz, CA U.S.A.

 

Prometheus was founded to initiate a major energy transition by replacing fossil fuels with superior, price-competitive, zero net carbon e-fuels as fast as possible. As solar and wind power are rapidly scaled, our mission is to use our innovative “power-to-X” fuel-making pathway to turn this renewable electricity into high-performance, carbon-neutral gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel that can be domestically produced, stored indefinitely, and easily transported, anywhere in the world. These fuels will be low-cost and use existing infrastructure to power engines, homes, industry, and cities without harming the planet. In achieving this mission, we believe we can enable energy and climate security, while sparking a new era of human discovery, adventure, and prosperity.
