LanzaTech Global says DRAGON II project will be located in Humberside

In the UK, LanzaTech Global has announced Saltend Chemicals Park in Humberside as the intended location for its pioneering DRAGON II project—a £600 million investment to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and renewable diesel at scale. Once operational, DRAGON II is expected to deliver around 80,000 metric tons of SAF, about 1% of UK jet fuel requirements, and 8,000 tons of renewable diesel annually, supporting around 300 skilled jobs during its construction and 150 in operation. Saltend Chemicals Park is owned by px Group, part of the Ara Partners portfolio of companies specialising in industrial decarbonisation investments. px Group offers world-class infrastructure, utilities, deep-water jetty access, and fully managed site services platform, and was selected after an exhaustive assessment of sites across the UK.
