Haffner Energy, LanzaJet, and LanzaTech partner to explore joint biomass-to-Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) projects

Haffner Energy, a solid biomass-to-clean fuels solutions provider, LanzaTech, a carbon management company providing a differentiated syngas-to-ethanol solution, and LanzaJet, an ethanol-to-jet technology company and fuels producer, are working together to explore joint biomass-to-Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) projects covering the entire production value chain.

The three companies are exploring SAF production opportunities, including the development of commercial plants, joint technology licenses, and offtake opportunities as they become available, and funding support and/or investment in specific SAF projects.

France-based Haffner Energy relies on its 31-years of experience to design, manufacture, supply, license, and operate proprietary clean fuels solutions using all types of biomass residues wet or dry, including agricultural and municipal waste.

LanzaJet, a US-based company with operations around the world, has a leading, exclusive, and patented Alcohol-to-Jet (ATJ) technology. LanzaJet is backed by global airport operator group Aéroports de Paris (ADP), British Airways, Airbus, Southwest Airlines and Microsoft, among others. In 2024 LanzaJet was named to the TIME100 Most Influential Companies list, and opened the world’s first commercial-scale ATJ plant in the US.

LanzaTech is a proven leader in commercial-scale carbon management solutions, with operations worldwide that transform waste carbon into valuable raw materials, such as ethanol. Ethanol is the essential input required to produce SAF through the ATJ pathway. LanzaTech’s waste-based ethanol provides a tremendous resource for the scalability of the ATJ pathway and CirculAir, the initiative unveiled last year by LanzaTech and LanzaJet, formally brings together both companies’ technologies into one integrated solution to take advantage of the opportunity in using waste-based feedstocks for SAF production.

LanzaTech’s extensive experience using synthetic gas (syngas) as a feedstock to produce ethanol coupled with the proven flexibility of Haffner Energy’s proprietary technology to use a wide array of biomass residues to produce syngas, creates a strong foundation upon which to connect LanzaJet’s ATJ technology. The combination of the three companies’ technology unlocks a pipeline of opportunities to develop and build multiple profitable projects together.

Haffner Energy designs, manufactures, supplies, and operates biofuel and hydrogen solutions using biomass residues. Its patented thermolysis technology produces Sustainable Aviation Fuel, as well as renewable gas, hydrogen, and methanol. The company also contributes to regenerating the planet through the co-production of biogenic CO2 and biochar.
