ADP’s Investment and LanzaJet Freedom Pines Fuels
ADP’s investment in LanzaJet coincides with the recent opening of LanzaJet Freedom Pines Fuels, the world’s first commercial-scale ethanol-to-SAF plant, located in the United States. This historic facility will produce Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and renewable diesel from low-carbon ethanol, achieving International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC). Serving as a model for SAF production, Freedom Pines Fuels is a significant step toward LanzaJet’s goal of producing one billion gallons of SAF by 2030.
“Low-carbon aviation will not take off without the transformation of airports into energy hubs with a range of low-carbon solutions. The airport revolution must happen now, and it is underway in Paris. As the world’s leading airport operator, we wanted to go further and act at source by supporting the production of sustainable aviation fuel, investing directly in LanzaJet, an innovative company able to deploy its technology responsibly around the world, and adapting to local waste to make these new fuels available everywhere,” said Augustin de Romanet, CEO of Groupe ADP.
LanzaJet’s investors also include All Nippon Airways (ANA), Breakthrough Energy, British Airways, LanzaTech, Microsoft’s Climate Innovation Fund, Mitsui & Co., Shell, Southwest Airlines, and Suncor Energy.
