LanzaJet is the sustainable aviation fuel spin-off of the almost eponymous LanzaTech, an American firm that is developing and deploying technologies to turn different sorts of feedstock and waste, into biofuels.
Of the different processes and pathways available to make sustainable aviation fuel, LanzaJet is focusing on the Alcohol-to-Jet one, which uses ethanol previously produced from organic feedstocks.
LanzaJet’s technology has caught the eye of some of the most prominent corporate players. I am not talking only of airlines, such as British Airways, which is also an investor in LanzaJet, but also firms like Shell, Suncor and Microsoft, to name a few.
Because the world can’t get enough sustainable aviation fuel right now, LanzaJet is currently busy planning to open a string of plants across the world. Two plants are already under way in the US, with another one in the UK coming up next and other projects in Europe and Asia also in the pipeline.
Breakthrough Energy, a decarbonization fund set by Bill Gates, is also supporting LanzaJet’s vision and recently announced it was gibing it a $50M grant to help accelerate these projects.
What have all those major companies seen in LanzaJet? What is the outlook for the sustainable aviation fuel market? How can the Alcohol-to-Jet production technology help decarbonize flying?
Join me for an in-depth conversation about LanzaJet and the future of the sustainable aviation fuel industry, with Jimmy Samartzis, CEO of LanzaJet!
