About

LanzaJet is a leading sustainable fuels technology company dedicated to decarbonizing aviation through its patented Alcohol-to-Jet (ATJ) technology, which converts ethanol into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and renewable diesel. Founded in 2020 as a spinout from LanzaTech, the company's ATJ pathway received ASTM International approval in 2018 and has powered transatlantic and transpacific flights on Virgin Atlantic and All Nippon Airways. LanzaJet's ATJ process is a scalable, drop-in replacement for conventional jet fuel that can reduce lifecycle carbon emissions significantly. In 2022, the company secured $100 million in combined funding from Microsoft's Climate Innovation Fund and Breakthrough Energy (Bill Gates). In 2024, LanzaJet opened the world's first commercial ATJ SAF facility — Freedom Pines Fuels — marking a historic milestone in the sustainable fuels industry. The company is backed by LanzaTech, Suncor, Mitsui, Shell, British Airways, Southwest Airlines, Groupe ADP, and MUFG.
