New Zealand awareds LanzaJet and LanzaTech Global SAF study

In New Zealand, LanzaJet and LanzaTech Global have been selected by Air New Zealand and the New Zealand Ministry for Business, Innovation, and Employment (MBIE) to support the second stage of a study to determine commercial viability and sustainability of domestic sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production in New Zealand.

The study will explore the use of domestic New Zealand waste products to produce SAF, primarily focusing on forestry residue. LanzaTech will transform the waste raw materials into low-carbon ethanol through its commercially deployed gas fermentation technology, and LanzaJet will convert ethanol into SAF with its proven and scaled-up Alcohol-to-Jet technology.
