Decarbonizing the aviation industry is a big discussion point when it comes to sustainable aviation operations and climate change. Someday is now, is the slogan when visiting Lanza Jet’s website.

Aviation uses 100B gallons of fossil jet fuel per year. Sustainable Aviation Fuel is the industry’s best hope to decarbonize. LanzaJet is in the strongest position to scale SAF production and meet the urgent moment of climate change.

This is also a 16.8 billion Dollar market of business opportunities.

LanzaJet has developed the world’s inaugural advanced SAF technology utilizing ethanol, which can increase production to the necessary levels for decarbonizing the aviation industry.

Lanzajet issued a press release explaining a giant step forward in the United States.

LanzaJet, a leading sustainable fuels technology company and sustainable fuels producer, joined government officials, industry leaders, partners, and supporters to open LanzaJet Freedom Pines Fuels, the world’s first ethanol-to-sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production facility on January 24, 2024.
