LanzaTech, Tadweer join forced to initiate integrated Waste-to-SAF study

LanzaTech Global and Tadweer have joined forces to initiate an integrated Waste-to-Sustainable Aviation Fuel, SAF, feasibility study to scale SAF production from municipal and commercial solid waste. This is the first major project in LanzaTech and Tadweer’s partnership and forecasts that up to 350,000 tonnes of hard-to-recycle municipal and commercial solid waste per year can be transformed into 200,000 tonnes of ethanol per year, ultimately producing 120,000 tonnes of SAF annually. Jennifer Holmgren, Chief Executive Officer of LanzaTech, commented: “Recycling municipal solid waste, rather than letting it pile up in landfills, offers incredible potential to produce sustainable aviation fuel at scale and reduce air travel’s carbon footprint. This solution creates an alternative, lower carbon supply chain. With LanzaTech’s technology in Tadweer’s facilities, this project is an opportunity to address the climate crisis on two fronts simultaneously and keep virgin fossil fuels in the ground.”
