  • All routes have a higher energy efficiency than an electricity-intensive DAC-based option, estimated to 32-34%.

    “All routes have a higher energy efficiency than an electricity-intensive DAC-based op­ tion, estimated to 32 -34 % [35].”

    From Locked in on RFNBOs – Will EU mandates for drop-in synthetic aviation fuels lead to decreased energy- and cost-efficiency? (2026) · cites this paper as [35]

    Section 2.1 (page unavailable) estimates 32–34% electricity-to-fuel efficiency for the paper’s DAC-based plant. It does not compare that plant with the citing document’s other routes or establish that all of them are more efficient. (LLM, conf=0.87)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
