LanzaJet has announced the selection of Teesside’s Wilton International as the site for its next production facility, Project Speedbird.
In partnership with Sembcorp Utilities, LanzaJet will develop an ethanol-to-SAF (sustainable aviation fuel) facility at Wilton International in the UK. The project, in collaboration with British Airways, aims to produce over 90,000 tonnes (30 million gallons) of SAF and renewable diesel annually.
Project Speedbird, which has received funding from the UK government’s Advanced Fuels Fund, is expected to bring significant regional benefits and create approximately 30 highly skilled, long-term roles within LanzaJet’s operations.
