LanzaJet is a leading sustainable fuels technology company dedicated to accelerating the energy transition by embracing the circular economy. We are making safe, sustainable fuels from waste and low carbon sources a reality today.
We are both an established Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) technology provider, and a sustainable fuels producer. Our patented technology, combined with our extensive know-how and deeply experienced team, makes sustainable fuels a reality today. Through the use of our patented LanzaJetTM Alcohol-to-Jet (AtJ) technology, we are able to create SAF and renewable diesel from waste-based and sustainable ethanol sources. These sources include ethanol created from feedstocks such as low-carbon sugarcane, energy crops, forest residuals, agricultural wastes, and organic waste, just to name a few. There are even existing commercial pathways through our founder, LanzaTech, that can utilize industrial waste gases to create ethanol. With such a widely available starting point, feedstock is readily available and accessible around the world. In this way, we are creating a global, fully circular, carbon recycling economy to enable the decarbonization of the aviation and transportation industries.
LanzaJet was formed through the contributions of our investors which include LanzaTech, Suncor Energy Inc., Mitsui & Co., Ltd., and British Airways and participation from ANA. The backing from these organizations is significantly accelerating LanzaJet’s commercial deployment, and is demonstrating a joint commitment to creating a resilient, lower carbon future.
LanzaJet was formally spun off from LanzaTech in 2020 under the leadership of CEO Jimmy Samartzis, but the story of our company began in 2010. The technology was first developed and extensively tested by LanzaTech and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), a US Department of Energy National Laboratory.
