LanzaTech Global, Inc. has been granted £6.4 million from the UK government's Advanced Fuels Fund to support the development of their DRAGON 1 and 2 projects aimed at producing sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in the UK. DRAGON 1 will convert recycled carbon fuel ethanol into Advanced SAF in South Wales, while DRAGON 2 involves creating a facility that turns waste CO2 and green hydrogen into ethanol for SAF production. This initiative affirms the UK government's trust in LanzaTech's technology and its potential to enhance SAF production, further establishing LanzaTech as a leader in clean energy. LanzaTech's projects are anticipated to contribute to the UK’s SAF Mandate, aiding economic growth and job creation. The funding not only supports LanzaTech's innovative approach but also aligns with the UK's environmental strategies, emphasizing the company's role in achieving net-zero aviation goals. Despite concerns about grant dependency, this investment underscores the importance of developing sustainable aviation solutions and diversifying feedstock sources for low-carbon fuels.
