Turning alcohol into jet fuel might be the way forward for making travel by air more sustainable and kinder for the planet.
will be the company's first commercial-scale SAF plant. It will also be the first plant in the world to make alcohol-to-jet SAF, which it is hoped could reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 70% compared to fossil jet fuel. The project is set to be finished in 2023.
Once it is fully running, this plant will be a crucial part of increasing SAF production and bringing sustainable fuels that are less expensive to the market. The plant is expected to make 9 million gallons of SAF and 1 million gallons of renewable diesel yearly.will be able to be used on a much larger scale in the U.S. and worldwide after the plant is built.
Notably, the grant will also encourage more innovation at SAF by helping to create a new market for ethanol from sustainable sources that can be scaled up and has low carbon emissions. This will happen by setting the expectation that the plant will switch to second-generation ethanol, including ethanol made from waste, by the end of its fifth year.
“LanzaJet is grounded in innovation, and we work every day with a sense of urgency to address our global climate challenge,” explains Jimmy Samartzis, LanzaJet CEO.
