Aeon Blue Launch Canada’s First Mi’kmaq-Owned Clean Fuels Facility

From Aeon Blue press release:

SYDNEY, UNAMA’KI, October 8, 2026 — It's with great honour, particularly during Mi'kmaq History Month, that Eskasoni Mi'kmaq First Nation and Aeon Blue, a clean technology company, are announcing the signing of a landmark joint venture agreement. The partnership establishes eFuels Mi'kmaq Limited — the first clean fuels company majority-owned by a Mi'kmaq First Nation in Canada.

Commencing with a pilot facility on Eskasoni land at Sydport in Cape Breton, Aeon Blue's novel seawater electrochemical platform will produce drop-in sustainable aviation fuel (AeonAir®SAF) while simultaneously capturing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, producing ultrapure water, and generating an oxidizer for rocket fuel. This breakthrough removes carbon from the air as it makes fuel — marking a fundamental shift in the future of aviation.
