?? Exciting Announcement! ?? Today, we are thrilled to introduce CirculAir?, an innovative and game-changing collaboration between LanzaTech and LanzaJet, aimed at revolutionizing the aviation industry! ???? Leveraging LanzaTech's pioneering gas fermentation technology and LanzaJet's Alcohol-to-Jet (ATJ) technology CirculAir can turn nearly any waste source—municipal solid waste (MSW), agricultural residues, industrial carbon emissions, CO2 through direct air capture and renewable power—into SAF. Given that SAF is projected to account for 65–70% of the aviation industry’s overall emissions reduction needed to achieve net zero by 2050, CirculAir is a critical tool for this hard-to-abate sector.????? CirculAir’s widespread adoption globally will accelerate the production and economies of scale required to bring down SAF costs, making it a commercially viable and sustainable option for the aviation industry. Stay tuned for more updates as we accelerate decarbonization worldwide! Together, we can create a sustainable future for aviation. ?????? #Innovation #Sustainability #SAF #Aviation #LanzaTech #LanzaJet #CirculAir #CarbonRecycling #RenewableEnergy #GreenFuture #PowertoX

I am so proud that a small company like LanzaTech can have a big impact on Skills for Chicagoland’s Future. We are supporting the organizations efforts to make a positive impact in the communities of Chicago by increasing employment in underserved communities across the city. Special thanks to my colleague @Joe Blasko who has served the organization and introduced us to this opportunity.

Exciting Research Alert! Our latest study, published in Biotechnology for Biofuels, explores how?Clostridium autoethanogenum—an acetogenic bacterium—adapts to various hydrogen (H?) ratios in its feedstock. Our focus? Enhancing carbon capture efficiency, with a spotlight on CO? conversion. Special recognition goes to our extraordinary co-first authors,?Megan Elliott?and?Adam Thompson, for their outstanding contributions to this research. Many thanks to our colleagues?Lucas Watson Mendelson,?Michael Martin?and LanzaTech co-founder?Sean Simpson. We also extend our gratitude to our co-corresponding authors,?Robert Hettich?and?Steve Brown, for their invaluable guidance and support throughout this study.?A big shoutout to our collaborative partners at?Oak Ridge National Laboratory?(ORNL), including?Richard Giannone?and?Tim Tschaplinski, for their invaluable contributions. ???Key Insights: - Elevated CO? Utilization:?Deploying higher H?:CO ratios (up to 11:1) enhances direct CO? utilization, attaining up to 75% carbon efficiency in ethanol production. - Consistent WLP Proteins:?Despite variations in gas composition, the essential Wood-Ljungdahl pathway (WLP) proteins stay robust. - Post-Translational Modifications:?Significant changes, especially in lysine-acetylation, suggest regulatory mechanisms that fine-tune enzymatic activities, optimizing carbon capture. - Metabolomic Shifts:?Accumulations of fatty acids and changes in carbon storage are evident, influenced by the differing gas ratios. This groundbreaking research not only unveils the metabolic adaptations of?C. autoethanogenum?but also paves the way for innovative bioengineering strategies to maximize CO? conversion in industrial applications. Grateful for the support from the?ARPA-E ECOSynBio Program. Read the full paper here:?https://lnkd.in/guUvHRj4 #SustainableTech #CarbonCapture #RenewableEnergy #ORNL #CarbonSmart

Australia is making significant strides in its commitment to Sustainable Aviation Fuel (#SAF) as outlined in the recent Aviation White Paper: Towards 2050. The country’s ambitious agenda to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and develop a robust domestic SAF industry is evident in its continued focus on innovative technologies and partnership. This commitment is backed by A$1.7 billion ($1.15 billion) in funding to accelerate the development of SAF and new feedstocks.? ? LanzaJet is proud to be part of this momentum, with two key projects announced this year. We’re working with Jet Zero Australia to develop the nation’s first ethanol-to-SAF plant, a pioneering effort that will help establish a new standard for sustainable aviation in Australia. Additionally, our partnership with Wagner Sustainable Fuels will see the deployment of CirculAir?, our joint technology solution with LanzaTech, at their Brisbane SAF Refinery – Australia's first MSW-to-SAF facility – further advancing Australia’s leadership in SAF production.? ? As Australia takes bold steps towards achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, LanzaJet is committed to supporting these initiatives through our innovative technology and strong collaborations. Our efforts are paving the way for the next generation of aviation, with sustainability at its core—both in Australia and across the globe.? ?

The journey from waste to product is not as far as you may think! It truly is amazing to see what LanzaTech's #carbonrecycling technology can achieve. This week, LanzaTech and SEKISUI CHEMICAL announced a Master License Agreement to deploy a commercial scale platform that converts municipal & industrial solid waste into ethanol. Read more about the announcement and MLA here - https://lnkd.in/g-6uvD8B ? I was grateful to visit our partnership’s existing Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) facility in Kuji City, Japan this summer and to witness firsthand how we are creating recycled ethanol. ? This first-of-a-kind demonstration plant represents a significant opportunity to create #sustainable feedstocks used in the manufacturing of other products from waste materials - all while changing how municipalities address waste issues within their communities. With this MLA, we can take the positive impacts even farther. ? There is sufficient carbon locked away in municipal waste to enable local production of everything needed in one’s daily life. According to The World Bank, “With rapid population growth and urbanization, annual [global] waste generation is expected to increase by 70% from 2016 levels to 3.40 billion tons by 2050.” With this technology and collaboration, we can help solve waste challenges in Japan and throughout the world. ? Things like this are what keeps me inspired and working toward a #lowcarbon future! Thank you to Toru Ryoso for hosting me and being a great partner.
