Facility Could One Day Produce 1 Billion Gallons of Diesel, Jet Fuel 

LanzaJet Freedom Pines Fuels opened up the "world's first ethanol to sustainable aviation fuel production facility" as it headed into 2024.

LanzaJet's ethanol tech is supposed to be key to their aims of scaling up production on synthesized SAF and renewable diesel, a key part of the wider industry's aims of achieving net zero by 2050. The Freedom Pines facility alone is slated to pump out more than 1 billion gallons by 2030. 

"This historic milestone is testament to the conviction required by industry, government, and funders to advance innovation and stretch the boundaries of what is achievable to tackle climate change," said LanzaJet CEO Jimmy Samartzis. "Between feedstock versatility, efficiency, and economics that enable scale globally, we stand ready to meet aviation's decarbonization goals."

"The Biden-Harris Administration is committed to harnessing the full potential of SAF as we continue to build a strong economy that is sustainable, resilient, competitive, and keeps rural places thriving," said U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. "LanzaJet's facility will help accelerate the SAF industry and provide new economic opportunities for producers for a more sustainable future."
