LanzaTech

News! LanzaJet and LanzaTech are teaming up to launch CirculAir™, a breakthrough solution that converts waste, carbon, and renewable power into Sustainable Aviation Fuel (#SAF). This joint offering combines the groundbreaking technologies of LanzaJet and LanzaTech to transform nearly any waste or carbon resource into drop-in SAF.    With CirculAir, we can turn a wide range of waste materials—such as municipal solid waste, agricultural waste, recycled carbon from industrial processes, and even CO2 from the air—into SAF that will reduce aviation emissions by 85% to carbon negative. This process not only meets EU and other national requirements by leveraging waste-based feedstocks, but it also enables countries worldwide to turn their local waste streams into valuable SAF.    CirculAir uses the same feedstocks as other technologies and pathways – Fischer Tropsch, Power-to-Liquids (PtL), Waste-to-Fuels, eFuels – but efficiently processes them to SAF through our ethanol transformation process which is already an ASTM approved pathway.     Nearly any feedstock can now be processed into SAF through CirculAir – offering a clean and efficient process yielding the highest selectivity to SAF available in the market, and flexibility to produce Renewable Diesel with no other by-products.    To learn more about CirculAir, read our press release here: https://lnkd.in/ghED9EJA   #sustainability #circulareconomy #carbon #waste #recycle #ethanol #decarbonization #aviation #SomedayIsNow

LanzaTech's biorefining platform capabilities now include the primary production of LanzaTech Nutritional Protein (LNP), directly from CO₂, unlocking access to the $1T alt protein market. Producing LNP as a primary product is a natural extension of our commercial platform and builds upon years of experience we have (since 2018) with partners selling certified protein for animal feed. High-quality protein has long been a co-product of our ethanol-producing facilities, and we've leveraged our core capabilities to develop new standalone facilities that produce LNP as a primary product. With same bioreactor and feedstocks as our ethanol-producing operations but with a new microbe, we can mass produce a protein so nutrient-dense that ~1 metric ton can provide the typical complete daily intake of protein for approximately 18,000 people. Suited for human nutrition, animal feed, and pet food, LNP highlights include: - High Protein & Complete Amino Acid Profile: Contains all 20 essential amino acids - Non-Allergenic: Is a safe option for broad consumption - Odorless, Neutral Colored Powder: Is ideal for a wide array of food products - Resource-Efficient: With significantly lower GHG emissions; LNP requires a fraction of the land and water used by conventional protein sources - Resilient, Adaptable Production: LNP can be produced anywhere in the world and mass produced independent of weather extremes, supporting a stable food supply chain around the world Beyond addressing nutrition in the face of a global food crisis and a vulnerable food supply chain, LNP production significantly reduces GHG emissions and minimizing the strain on natural resources compared to traditional protein sources. We’ve been scaling up for over 10 years, and our pilot facility has provided protein product for testing and prototyping across all key application areas. We’ve successfully completed salmon and shrimp feed testing with the The Center for Aquaculture Technologies (CAT), and poultry, pig feed, and pet food testing is underway. Mattson: Innovation for the Food & Beverage Industry has characterized LNP’s nutritional profile and formulatability and prototyped baked goods, dairy alternatives, and protein bars, among other food products. We've also teamed up with the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) to explore LNP production at sea, utilizing CO2 extracted from seawater as part of NRL’s Seawater Carbon Capture Process. Next we're progressing to engineering design for a facility with production capacity of 0.5-1.5 metric TPD, which we expect to be operational in 2026. We're also developing the roadmap for a commercial-scale plant capable of producing 80 metric tons per day, with a projected in service date during 2028. We remain committed to transforming above-ground carbon into valuable, everyday resources—now including protein. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gHp8sHvQ
