TEESSIDE, England<\/span><\/span>, Jan. 22, 2025<\/span><\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ —\u00a0LanzaJet, a leader in Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF)1<\/sup> technology and producer of SAF, today announced the selection of the site for their next production facility, Project Speedbird<\/a>, in Teesside’s Wilton International.<\/p>\n

LanzaJet has partnered\u00a0with Sembcorp Utilities (UK) Limited, a wholly-owned entity of Sembcorp Industries Ltd,\u00a0to develop an ethanol-to-SAF facility at Wilton International\u00a0in Teesside, UK. Through a collaboration with British Airways, Project Speedbird will produce over 90,000 tonnes (30 million gallons) of SAF and renewable diesel annually.<\/p>\n

Project Speedbird, a recipient of grant funding by the UK government under the Advanced Fuels Fund, is likely to generate significant regional benefits\u00a0and create around 30 highly skilled, long-term roles within LanzaJet’s operations.\u00a0The fuel produced is expected to\u00a0reduce\u00a0the net carbon\u00a0dioxide emissions by approximately 230,000 tonnes per year – equivalent to\u00a026,000 British Airways UK domestic flights.<\/p>\n

“Wilton International was selected for its\u00a0strategic location and advanced infrastructure, essential for SAF production. This selection underscores Teesside’s pivotal role in the UK’s energy transition and industrial decarbonisation efforts. By leveraging Wilton International’s capabilities, the project enhances the region’s status as a leader in alternative energy initiatives, contributing significantly to the UK’s clean energy objectives,” said Jimmy Samartzis<\/span>, CEO of LanzaJet.<\/p>\n

“Through our collaboration with British Airways, we\u00a0are building a local supply chain for SAF \u2013 a critical solution for reducing lifecycle net carbon emissions in aviation \u2013 while supporting the UK’s ambition to lead the energy transition. Project Speedbird demonstrates the potential of aligning technology, investment, and partnerships to address the aviation industry’s carbon emissions.”<\/p>\n

The facility\u00a0will utilise\u00a0LanzaJet’s proprietary alcohol-to-jet technology, deployed at\u00a0its Freedom Pines Fuels<\/a>\u00a0facility in Georgia, USA<\/span>, the world’s first commercial ethanol-to-SAF production plant. Project Speedbird will produce SAF from sustainably sourced ethanol. Project Speedbird will\u00a0also\u00a0establish key collaborations across the region to further bolster the local economy.<\/p>\n

Carrie Harris<\/span>, Director of Sustainability at British Airways, said: “We are delighted that LanzaJet has selected Wilton International in Teesside as the site for Project Speedbird. This milestone paves the way for the next stage of this innovative project, which is an important step towards scaling up sustainable aviation fuel production in the UK. SAF will be crucial in helping us reach our net zero goals by 2050, and this development marks significant progress towards producing UK SAF, whilst also supporting local communities and creating green jobs.”<\/p>\n

“We are pleased to welcome LanzaJet to our Wilton International site in Teesside. By providing ready-to-go infrastructure, energy and utilities services, we support their efforts in developing\u00a0sustainable and low-carbon solutions. This collaboration aligns with our commitment to accelerating the UK’s energy transition and industrial decarbonisation. We look forward to partnering with LanzaJet as they play a pivotal role in transforming the aviation sector towards net zero,” said Mike Patrick<\/span>, Chief Executive Officer of Sembcorp Energy UK.<\/p>\n
