LanzaTech

🌟 Exciting Announcement! 🌟 Today, we are thrilled to introduce CirculAir™, an innovative and game-changing collaboration between LanzaTech and LanzaJet, aimed at revolutionizing the aviation industry! ✈️🌍 Leveraging LanzaTech's pioneering gas fermentation technology and LanzaJet's Alcohol-to-Jet (ATJ) technology CirculAir can turn nearly any waste source—municipal solid waste (MSW), agricultural residues, industrial carbon emissions, CO2 through direct air capture and renewable power—into SAF. Given that SAF is projected to account for 65–70% of the aviation industry’s overall emissions reduction needed to achieve net zero by 2050, CirculAir is a critical tool for this hard-to-abate sector. 🌍🔄 CirculAir’s widespread adoption globally will accelerate the production and economies of scale required to bring down SAF costs, making it a commercially viable and sustainable option for the aviation industry. Stay tuned for more updates as we accelerate decarbonization worldwide! Together, we can create a sustainable future for aviation. 🌟✈️🌍 #Innovation #Sustainability #SAF #Aviation #LanzaTech #LanzaJet #CirculAir #CarbonRecycling #RenewableEnergy #GreenFuture #PowertoX

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) awarded LanzaTech $3 million to enhance its carbon recycling technology and create sustainable isopropanol from waste CO2. #LanzaTech #SustainableChemicals #CO2Conversion #GreenTech

Returning to our New Zealand roots, LanzaTech is proud to share the preliminary findings of an important study conducted in partnership with Air New Zealand and our sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) technology partner, LanzaJet. This study delves into the feasibility of producing SAF and renewable diesel in Aotearoa New Zealand. Key Findings: 🌿 Energy Resilience and Security: Potential to produce up to a quarter of the SAF needed for NZ domestic flights each year 1 from local woody waste residues and low-value wood products. New Zealand currently imports 100% of its jet fuel. 🌿 Economic Impact: This initiative could contribute an estimated $430 million to New Zealand’s GDP annually and generate hundreds of new regional jobs. 🌿 Environmental Benefits: Up to 70% reduction in emissions compared to fossil jet fuel, making a significant impact on the sustainability of long-haul air travel. Being a remote island nation, New Zealand is heavily reliant on long-haul aviation. This project highlights the benefits of our joint CirculAir™ solution, which combines LanzaTech's pioneering carbon recycling technology and LanzaJet's leading alcohol-to-jet (ATJ) technology. In using local waste streams, such as gasified forestry residues, to produce SAF, we provide a proven path for building New Zealand’s SAF economy. What’s next? The second phase of the study will explore New Zealand’s potential to use local municipal solid waste as a feedstock for SAF production through our end-to-end CirculAir offering.

As we approach the 2024 election, the climate tech sector finds itself at a critical crossroads, with uncertainty casting a long shadow over investment and innovation. Bloomberg’s Matthew Griffin and Coco Liu capture the precariousness of a market where VCs and clean tech founders are cautious and concerned about the potential rollback of the Inflation Reduction Act under a second Trump presidency. As Jennifer Holmgren from LanzaTech shares, the stakes are high. Delays in capital deployment and shifting policy priorities could stymie the progress of cutting-edge technologies like carbon capture, solar manufacturing, and sustainable fuels. We can’t afford those delays. We’re proud to work with leaders who continue to speak out on the challenges and actionable solutions. They remind us that advancing a sustainable future is non-negotiable, even amid political headwinds. #Climatetech funding might be in a temporary lull, but visionaries are still pushing the boundaries, reshaping their strategies, and ensuring we keep moving forward. The question isn’t just about weathering the storm— it's about finding ways to thrive through it.

ICYMI! We are thrilled to advance our use of CO2 as a feedstock with $3 million in support from U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)! Thank you SynBioBeta for sharing the news!

NEWS: we are very excited to add Bormioli Pharma and Chiesi Group to LanzaTech's CarbonSmart family! With our partners India Glycols Limited and Plastipak, they are introducing the world's first pharmaceutical-grade PET bottles made from recycled carbon. Sustainable packaging plays an essential role in keeping humans and our planet healthy--and it's a key unlock for advancing the circular carbon economy.

In case you missed it, we launched LanzaTech Nutritional Protein (LNP)! Thank you Green Queen Media for covering the news. “This is a natural extension of our platform, and we have been working on protein for a number of years, including before we went public,” says CSO Zara Summers, who reveals that LanzaTech has already sold 25,000 tonnes of single-cell protein from its operations as animal feed. “We decided to enter the protein market because we have always had a firm belief that recycled carbon could impact every aspect of our lives and provide new pathways to the products we use every day, including food,” she tells Green Queen.

It’s time we re-defined the Alcohol-to-Jet (AtJ) SAF pathway! Yes, the typically associated Sugar feedstocks do, and will continue to play an important role for Ethanol SAFs. But this is not the full story; AtJ is so much more than just ‘the corn route’! I spoke on behalf of LanzaJet about this topic at Argus Media's Biofuels Summit in London, alongside Jonathan Wood, from our close partner Nova Pangaea Technologies. Together, we’re building our UK Project Speedbird, which will deliver AtJ SAF from Woody Waste created by the local forestry sector. To explain further, LanzaJet currently leverages 3 Ethanol pathways for SAF production: 1. Traditional Bio-Fermentation: The approach most are familiar with, where Sugars are fermented into Ethanol. Eg. Sugar from Non-Edible Field Corn, Corn Stover (Leaves, Stalks, Cobs), Sugarcane Residues & By-Products like Bagasse 2. Fast Pyrolysis to Sugars: Nova Pangaea's game! Their REFNOVA technology breaks down Woody Waste into Sugars & Biochar. The Sugars are fermented into Ethanol, whilst the Biochar is embedded back into the soil as a long-term carbon sequestration technique. This enhances carbon sync values, whilst markedly improving soil health & crop productivity 3. Gas Fermentation: This is our end-to-end Carbon Recycling platform called CirculAir. Delivered in partnership with LanzaTech, their Gas Fermentation technology can create Ethanol out of nearly any non-oil based waste stream - Municipal Solid Waste & Landfill, Agricultural Residues, Regenerative Energy Crops, Woody Biomass… even Industrial Off-Gases & Direct Air Captured Carbon Yes, Alcohol-to-Jet can also be a Power-to-Liquid pathway! Crucially, this flexibility is becoming recognised by industry. It was great to hear another long-standing partner of ours, Jim Davies from International Airlines Group (IAG), reflect AtJ as their ‘preferred short-to-mid term SAF option’, given Ethanol can be made from ‘such a variety of feedstocks’. Intentionally, LanzaJet is positioning itself as the ultimate transitory fuel, capable of delivering SAF today, whilst consistently evolving with an expanding list of sources; both on the Bio & E-Fuels side of the equation. And with an ability to process nearly all non-oil based waste streams, we can specifically develop our projects around the most pressing local environmental challenges, anywhere in the world: - Overrun urban tip infrastructure - Degrading land with low crop yields - Air pollution from excessive waste incineration - Toxified waterways due to farm waste/run-off seeping into rivers - High levels of industrial air pollutants These are just some of the challenges our technology can play a role in combating! At LanzaJet, we're the first to ever deliver a non-oil based drop-in fuel solution for aviation. We’re proud to be a leading voice in this new wave of fuel production, seeking to create long-term solutions out of environmental problems. #SomedayisNow #SAF #Ethanol
