LanzaJet, Inc., a leading innovator in next-generation fuels and sustainable fuel production, welcomes the Australian Government’s landmark investment in renewable fuels under the Cleaner Fuels Program. This funding is set to accelerate Australia’s transition to low-carbon energy, enhance transportation decarbonization, and unlock new long-term revenue streams for the nation’s agricultural sector.

Australia’s strategic geography and resource base make it uniquely positioned to emerge as a global hub for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production. The government’s commitment reinforces both domestic and international momentum around SAF, signaling a bold step forward in the global energy transition while demonstrating how targeted investments can generate economic opportunity and energy security.

LanzaJet has been a pioneer in Australia’s SAF ecosystem, collaborating with government and private stakeholders to bring the industry to scale. In partnership with Jet Zero Australia, Qantas, Airbus, the Queensland Government, and ARENA, LanzaJet is deploying its proprietary Alcohol-to-Jet (ATJ) technology to establish the country’s first ethanol-to-SAF facility in Queensland. This plant will serve as a model for sustainable fuel production, linking local agricultural feedstocks to global aviation markets and supporting Australia’s energy security goals.

Complementing this effort, LanzaJet has announced a collaboration with LanzaTech, Boeing, and Wagner Sustainable Fuels to develop the nation’s first municipal solid waste-to-SAF plant, highlighting the potential of circular economy solutions in decarbonizing aviation. These initiatives underscore LanzaJet’s commitment to pioneering scalable, low-carbon fuels that meet both environmental and economic objectives.

Australia’s leadership in SAF, backed by strategic partnerships and innovative technologies, positions the country at the forefront of the global sustainable fuels movement. By combining industrial ingenuity with renewable resource potential, LanzaJet’s ATJ technology is enabling Australia to turn climate ambition into tangible economic and energy outcomes, creating a blueprint for other nations to follow in the transition to cleaner, safer, and more resilient energy systems.
