LanzaJet, a leading sustainable fuels technology company and sustainable fuels producer, today announced an investment from Microsoft\u2019s Climate Innovation Fund. This investment from Microsoft enables LanzaJet to continue building its capability and capacity to deploy its sustainable fuels process technology globally. In addition, LanzaJet and Microsoft intend to explore how Microsoft can supply its data and artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities to improve LanzaJet\u2019s corporate functions and ethanol to Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) process technology. <\/strong>

This investment in LanzaJet follows a $50 million project finance investment from Microsoft\u2019s Climate Innovation Fund in 2022 to support the construction of LanzaJet Freedom Pines Fuels in Soperton, Georgia, the world\u2019s first ethanol to SAF production plant, which opened in January 2024. LanzaJet Freedom Pines Fuels will begin annual production of 10 million gallons of SAF and renewable diesel in the second quarter of 2024. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cOur continued alignment with Microsoft allows LanzaJet to build our team and capability at pace to support global deployment of our leading sustainable fuels process technology,\u201d said Jimmy Samartzis, Chief Executive Officer of LanzaJet<\/strong>. \u200b\u201cThrough its support of LanzaJet\u2019s first-of-a-kind ethanol to SAF biorefinery, LanzaJet Freedom Pines Fuels, Microsoft has played a significant role in making SAF production a reality in the United States, and this investment reemphasizes its urgent commitment to decarbonization of hard-to-abate sectors.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Microsoft\u2019s investment in LanzaJet enables it to gain access to sustainable fuels \u2013 SAF and Renewable Diesel \u2013 as well as SAF Certificates (SAFc) from future LanzaJet projects. Access to these products will help Microsoft on the path to becoming carbon negative by 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cMicrosoft is proud to support LanzaJet with our investment in the growth of its sustainable fuel technology business,\u201d said Brandon Middaugh, senior director, Climate Innovation Fund, Microsoft<\/strong>. \u200b\u201cMicrosoft is investing in partners who share our commitment to advancing a net-zero economy and who are building the market for critical solutions like SAF and renewable diesel.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

In addition to Microsoft, LanzaJet\u2019s portfolio of investors and funders includes All Nippon Airways (ANA), Breakthrough Energy, British Airways, LanzaTech, Mitsui & Co., Shell, Southwest Airlines, and Suncor Energy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
