The facility will convert waste-based ethanol to sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) at a scale of over 30,000 tons\/yr. The project received \u20ac20 million in grant funding from the EU H2020 programme and is a major milestone on the path to a net zero emission for the aviation industry.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sustainable aviation fuel is critical to reduce emissions from the aviation sector in the coming decades. Ambitious targets are proposed as part of the European Green Deal \u2018Sustainable and smart mobility\u2019 policy and the new legislative initiative \u2018EU ReFuelEU Aviation\u2019. To meet these targets in the years to come, it is essential that we diversify feedstock and technology options for SAF production. This pre-commercial AtJ production plant will pave the way to implementing SAF production across Europe and around the globe, producing commercially relevant quantities of SAF to support future aviation\u2019s climate targets.<\/p>\n<p>The FLITE (Fuel via Low Carbon Integrated Technology from Ethanol) project kick-off was held on December 8<sup>th<\/sup>, 2020. The consortium consists of leaders from their respective industries. SkyNRG, a global market leader for SAF solutions, is acting as the project coordinator and managing downstream supply chain development; carbon recycling company, LanzaTech, will be responsible for plant design, construction and operations using the LanzaJet<sup>TM<\/sup> AtJ technology; Fraunhofer, Europe\u2019s largest applied research organization, will oversee and distribute communications about the project; energy and sustainability strategy consultancy E4tech, will conduct the life cycle assessment; and the world\u2019s most trusted, valued and peer-reviewed standard for the bio-based economy, the Roundtable on Sustainable Biomaterials (RSB), will support the project through guidance on RSB certification of the facility.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lanzatech.com\/2021\/01\/07\/building-europes-first-of-its-kind-alcohol-to-jet-production-plant\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source and further information<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The FLITE consortium, led by SkyNRG and with LanzaTech as the technology provider, will build the first-of-its-kind LanzaJetTM Alcohol to Jet (AtJ) facility.
