British Airways to invest in LanzaTech’s Georgia SAF plant and purchase fuel

February 9, 2021 |

In the UK, British Airways is investing in sustainable aviation fuel technology provider and SAF producer LanzaJet as the company builds its first commercial scale plant in Georgia, USA. British Airways will purchase SAF from LanzaJet’s US plant to power a number of the airline’s flights from late 2022. The deal also involves LanzaJet conducting early-stage planning for a potential large scale commercial SAF biorefinery in the UK.
The announcement is in addition to British Airways’ existing partnership with Velocys to build a sustainable aviation fuel plant in the UK, which could produce SAF from 2025. Investing to enable the commercial development of SAF forms part of the airline’s medium-term initiatives to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050. The airline is delivering a range of short, medium and long-term initiatives to decarbonize and achieve net zero by 2050.
