LanzaJet teams with Marquis SAF to build 120M gallon integrated fuels facility

In Illinois, LanzaJet has entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Marquis Sustainable Aviation Fuel to construct a 120 million gallons per year integrated sustainable fuels plant in the U.S. using low-carbon intensity feedstocks to produce SAF and renewable diesel via the LanzaJet™ Alcohol-to-Jet process. The plant will employ on-site carbon capture and sequestration and renewable energy to produce SAF, resulting in a lifecycle greenhouse gas reduction of more than 70% compared to conventional jet fuel.

This first-of-a-kind fully integrated sustainable fuels production facility will be located in the Marquis Industrial Complex in Hennepin, Illinois, just two hours southwest of Chicago, on a 2,500-acre industrial site adjacent to the Illinois River. The facility is strategically positioned for global distribution via direct access to the Illinois River and proximity to vital pipelines to deliver sustainable fuels to Chicago O’Hare International Airport and Chicago Midway International Airport. The Marquis Industrial Complex also connects with a Class I railroad and multiple interstate highways.
