LanzaTech’s SAF waste-gas to kerosene facility receives $31 million UK DOT funding

LanzaTech UK’s DRAGON facility has received a $31 million grant from the UK Department for Transport’s Advanced Fuels Fund Competition. The facility will be the world’s first commercial-scale factory to transform waste gases into sustainable jet fuel. LanzaTech’s project DRAGON stands for Decarbonizing and Reimagining Aviation for the Goal Of Netzero. The proposed plant is expected to produce 102 million litres per year of ATJ Synthetic Paraffinic Kerosene (ATJ-SPK) to be blended with kerosene to make SAF thus making a significant contribution towards the UK Mandate for supplying 10% of total annual jet fuel demand in the U.K. with SAF by 2030.
