Another segment in the climate solutions series. This company pioneered a technology that combines CO2 with "green hydrogen" (i.e., created through electrolysis using excess wind or solar power) to create an ethanol that can be used for sustainable aviation fuel. This helps solve two challenges at once: (1) what to do with captured CO2 so that it doesn't just leak back into the atmosphere, and (2) how to produce ethanol without diverting vast quantities of agricultural land and food to biofuels. This is a technology that is accessible and scalable even in less-developed countries. This is the kind of innovation that is going to make a difference, and is worth investing in.

News! LanzaJet and LanzaTech are teaming up to launch CirculAir™, a breakthrough solution that converts waste, carbon, and renewable power into Sustainable Aviation Fuel (#SAF). This joint offering combines the groundbreaking technologies of LanzaJet and LanzaTech to transform nearly any waste or carbon resource into drop-in SAF.    With CirculAir, we can turn a wide range of waste materials—such as municipal solid waste, agricultural waste, recycled carbon from industrial processes, and even CO2 from the air—into SAF that will reduce aviation emissions by 85% to carbon negative. This process not only meets EU and other national requirements by leveraging waste-based feedstocks, but it also enables countries worldwide to turn their local waste streams into valuable SAF.    CirculAir uses the same feedstocks as other technologies and pathways – Fischer Tropsch, Power-to-Liquids (PtL), Waste-to-Fuels, eFuels – but efficiently processes them to SAF through our ethanol transformation process which is already an ASTM approved pathway.     Nearly any feedstock can now be processed into SAF through CirculAir – offering a clean and efficient process yielding the highest selectivity to SAF available in the market, and flexibility to produce Renewable Diesel with no other by-products.    To learn more about CirculAir, read our press release here: https://lnkd.in/ghED9EJA   #sustainability #circulareconomy #carbon #waste #recycle #ethanol #decarbonization #aviation #SomedayIsNow
