In Illinois, LanzaTech Global and LanzaJet announced a new project with Australia’s Wagner Sustainable Fuels to evaluate equipping Wagner’s Brisbane SAF Refinery with the CirculAir platform. The CirculAir platform is LanzaTech and LanzaJet’s joint technology solution that converts waste carbon and renewable power into Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). In addition to securing a commercial partnership with LanzaTech and LanzaJet, the project has received financial investments from Boing and the Queensland Government. “LanzaTech and LanzaJet look forward to providing our joint commercial solution to Wagner Sustainable Fuels to accelerate the development of a domestic Australian SAF market,” said Jennifer Holmgren, CEO of LanzaTech and Board Chair of LanzaJet. “There is enough carbon above ground to transition the 100 billion gallons of fossil fuel-derived jet fuel consumed each year to jet fuel made from recycled carbon. The flexibility of the CirculAir platform makes it possible for this Project to unlock carbon from the myriad waste-based resources available in Australia to meet local demand.” The CirculAir process first utilizes LanzaTech’s carbon recycling technology to transform local waste streams, such as industrial emissions and municipal solid waste, into CarbonSmart ethanol. Then, LanzaJet’s Alcohol-to-Jet (ATJ) technology converts the ethanol into drop-in SAF.
