In India, Bio Energy Times reported that carbon recycling company LanzaTech Global, has received a $8.5 million grant from the UK government’s Advanced Fuels Fund to support two sustainable aviation fuel projects aimed at reducing emissions from air travel.
The grant will go toward LanzaTech’s DRAGON 1 and DRAGON 2 initiatives. DRAGON 1 will convert recycled carbon ethanol into SAF at a facility in Port Talbot, South Wales, using LanzaJet’s Alcohol-to-Jet technology. DRAGON 2, whose location in the UK is still being finalized, will convert waste carbon dioxide and green hydrogen into ethanol, which will then be used for SAF production.
In a separate development, LanzaJet’s Project Speedbird, in which LanzaTech owns a 36% stake, also received funds from the same government fund. Project Speedbird is focused on scaling up SAF production in the UK.
