LanzaTech Global has received a grant of £6.4 million (€7.3 million) from the UK government's Advanced Fuels Fund (AFF), operated by the Department for Transport (DfT). The grant will accelerate the development of LanzaTech’s innovative DRAGON 1 & 2 projects, each playing a crucial role in the production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in the UK. Project DRAGON stands for Decarbonising and Reimagining Aviation for the Goal Of Net-zero. "The future of aviation fuel is ethanol-to-SAF and LanzaTech is at the forefront,” said Dr Jennifer Holmgren, CEO of LanzaTech. By leveraging low-cost, sustainable inputs for SAF production, LanzaTech is poised to play a key role in aiding the aviation sector's pursuit of its net-zero commitments.
