technology
Alcohol-to-jet
Conversion of ethanol or isobutanol to jet fuel via dehydration, oligomerization and hydrogenation.
Where it's used
Advanced biofuels (SAF, renewable diesel & biomethane)
Drop-in fuels from waste oils, crops and residues — a stack from feedstock to certified SAF, renewable diesel and grid-injection biomethane.
Gas fermentation to chemicals
Acetogenic bacteria fix steel-mill and refinery off-gas (CO, CO2, H2) into recycled-carbon ethanol, acetone and sustainable aviation fuel through the Wood–Ljungdahl pathway — operated at commercial scale by LanzaTech licensees (the 210,000 t/yr Shougang plant, the €200M Steelanol plant at Ghent, and LanzaJet's Freedom Pines alcohol-to-jet facility) and extended to non-steel CO2 feedstocks by Cemvita's engineered-microbe platform.
