| Technology Brief |
Located in Teesside, UK, this facility will produce over 90,000 tonnes (30 million US gallons) of SAF and renewable diesel annually. All the SAF produced is destined for British Airways, where it will help reduce their carbon emissions by 230,000 tonnes per year — equivalent to 26,000 domestic flights.
Project Speedbird uses LanzaJet’s Alcohol-to-Jet technology to convert second-generation ethanol — produced from sources like agricultural residues and woody biomass — into SAF.
