LanzaJet partners with Jet Zero Australia to deploy its Alcohol-to-Jet (ATJ) technology

In Australia, LanzaJet announced it is collaborating with Jet Zero Australia to start project development to progress towards the deployment of its LanzaJet Alcohol-to-Jet (ATJ) technology for a sustainable aviation fuel production plant in Queensland. The plant, which could be Australia’s first ATJ sustainable aviation fuel production facility, is supported by the Queensland Government, Qantas, and Airbus as part of the Australian SAF Partnership. “As exciting as it is for LanzaJet to deploy its alcohol-to-jet technology to decarbonize aviation in Australia, it is equally gratifying to know its impact in developing the domestic agricultural industry, providing a path for energy security, and enhancing the country’s national security posture and greater fuel independence,” said Jimmy Samartzis, CEO of LanzaJet. The SAF produced in Queensland will grow the supply for the Australian domestic market, including the nation’s flag carrier, Qantas Group, which has committed to using 10% SAF in its overall fuel consumption by 2030 and achieving net zero emissions by 2050. Qantas is currently using SAF sourced overseas to power commercial flights out of London and expects to add San Francisco and Los Angeles in 2025.
