In Texas, Fluor Corporation announced that it has been awarded a contract by LanzaJet for the front-end engineering and design of a pioneering sustainable aviation fuel production hub in North Yorkshire, England.
The initiative, named Project Speedbird, is a joint development between LanzaJet and British Airways. Fluor will recognize the undisclosed contract value in the third quarter.
The project will leverage LanzaJet’s Alcohol-to-Jet technology to transform second-generation ethanol, sourced from agricultural residues and woody biomass, into SAF. British Airways will utilize this SAF to cut carbon emissions by approximately 230,000 tons annually, equivalent to the emissions from 26,000 domestic flights.
Located in Teesside, UK, the facility will produce more than 90,000 tons of SAF and renewable diesel annually.
