LanzaTech Global announced an innovative advancement with the potential to transform global sustainable aviation fuel production.
Having successfully commercialized its technology to produce ethanol for SAF via the Alcohol-to-Jet (ATJ) process, the firm said it now has the capability for producing SAF via the Hydroprocessed Esters and Fatty Acids (HEFA) pathway.
Collaboratively developed with the Fraunhofer Institute for Interfacial Engineering and Biotechnology IGB and the Mibelle Group, this palm oil alternative replicates essential functional properties needed in the cosmetics industry.
“The Mibelle Group, as the original innovator behind this idea, has been instrumental in assembling the right partners and driving success, alongside the Fraunhofer Institute’s outstanding innovators who have focused on developing and scaling this solution,” said Jennifer Holmgren, CEO of LanzaTech. “This collaboration reflects how revolutionary ideas can generate wide-ranging impacts, from reducing reliance on deforestation-linked ingredients in cosmetics to enabling the production of sustainable aviation fuel, thereby creating change that extends beyond initial objectives.”
