Share this news:

Zero appoints Tom Smedley as Chief Commercial and Revenue Officer to lead the global expansion of its synthetic fuel technology. Smedley, who has a track record of scaling businesses and startups, joins the company as it takes on the energy sector with carbon-neutral fuel solutions.

Zero, a leading carbon-neutral synthetic fuel production enterprise, announced today the appointment of Tom Smedley as Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) and Chief Revenue Officer (CRO). This move comes as the company accelerates its global expansion efforts through a sustainable, carbon-neutral fuel solution.


Zero has focused on developing synthetic fuels that offer a viable alternative to traditional fossil fuels without requiring modifications to existing engines. The company's technology, which produces fuel from water and carbon dioxide extracted from the air, has received vast attention from various industries, especially aviation, automotive and motorsports.


Tom Smedley brings a wealth of experience to Zero , having successfully scaled multiple startups across diverse sectors. His track record includes transforming Foresight Works from a nascent startup to tens of millions in valuation and propelling Snappt Inc. to a staggering hundreds of million valuation. Smedley's global history, spanning Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Africa, and the United States, makes him the ideal candidate to scale Zero’s commercial strategy on an international scale. Smedley is said to be the billion dollar man, having added in excess of a billion dollars in share value.


As CCO, Smedley will be responsible for expanding Zero Petroleum’s market presence, forging strategic partnerships, and driving revenue growth. “Joining Zero Petroleum has been an exhilarating journey,” says Tom Smedley. “Their synthetic fuels have the potential to revolutionize energy use and greatly reduce carbon emissions across multiple industries without the need for entirely new infrastructure. It’s a transformative technology with the power to shape a more sustainable future. Leading this charge is an ambitious challenge, and I am committed to giving it my all.


According to a recent report by Precedence Research, the synthetic fuel market is projected to reach $64.76 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 27.2% from 2024 to 2032. Zero is well-suited to capitalize on this growth, with its fuels already meeting UK and European pump fuel standards and potentially outperforming traditional ethanol-free petrol in terms of power and range.


Unlike traditional biofuels, which often compete with food production for resources, Zero’s fuels are produced using a 100% renewable manufacturing process powered by clean electricity.


"The energy sector will never be the same with Zero," Smedley adds. "With the right strategies and partnerships, we can make carbon-neutral synthetic fuels accessible and affordable on a global scale. I’m sure of it."
