About
We’re a team of scientists and engineers, all working together toward the same goal of producing e-fuels from carbon directly captured from the air.
Our story
Sora Fuel was founded by Gareth Ross, Patrick Sarver and Curtis Berlinguette within Engine Ventures based on technology from Berlinguette’s lab at the University of British Columbia.
The company was founded on the goal of producing e-fuels from carbon directly captured from the air, in a closed-loop system reliant only on water and electricity. Its root technological innovation is a bicarbonate electrolyzer developed in the Berlinguette Lab, which directly uses air-captured CO₂ for the efficient production of syngas, an established precursor to liquid fuels.
To build a truly carbon-negative fuel supply chain.
- Transparency
- Transparency lies at the heart of trust — essential to scientific progress. If something is going well, we will share it. If things are going poorly, we will share it. We strive for 100% transparency.
- Diversity
- Diversity is not only inherently important, but also drives innovation, understanding, and decision-making. We place great value on the diverse backgrounds, cultures, genders, and life experiences of our team.
- Collaboration
- Collaboration is essential to solving challenging, interdisciplinary problems like the ones we tackle every day. We stand in opposition to unnecessary hierarchy and siloed teams. We stand for individuals who work best with others working toward a common goal, sharing information freely, and making decisions locally.
- People
- People, in reality, are our only meaningful asset. We seek out individuals who will work to help others develop and grow — individuals who are generous with their time and willing to take risks on others so that they might learn more quickly.
- Commitment
- Commitment is non-negotiable when working at a rapidly growing, early-stage, tough tech company. This is not a nine-to-five job. The work ethic must be intrinsic. We balance this need with flexibility and an understanding that you have a life outside of work.
