Introducing CirculAir™, a joint solution from LanzaJet and LanzaTech that transforms nearly any form of non-oil derived waste carbon into SAF.
CirculAir™ combines the groundbreaking technologies of LanzaTech and LanzaJet to form an efficient and economically compelling offering that provides the aviation industry with a solution to produce waste-based SAF on a global scale.
How it works:
- First, CirculAir utilizes LanzaTech’s gas fermentation technology to convert nearly any waste resource – spanning agricultural and forestry wastes, regenerative energy crops, municipal solid waste, as well as Power-to-Liquid (PtL) avenues derived from industrial off gases or direct air captured carbon – into CarbonSmart™ ethanol.
- Second, LanzaJet takes the ethanol and converts it into drop-in SAF through our proprietary ethanol-to-SAF technology process.
The SAF made through this process will on average reduce the fuel’s life-cycle emissions by 85%, with the ability to generate carbon negative outputs depending on the feedstock.

An end-to-end technology solution powering the circular economy.
An end-to-end technology solution powering the circular economy.
CirculAir exemplifies the circular economy by transforming waste into SAF, closing the loop on carbon emissions that would otherwise harm both the environment and communities in which they were found. By continually recycling waste carbon and emissions, CirculAir achieves the necessary economies of scale, reducing the cost of SAF and making it more competitive with traditional fuels.

CirculAir is uniquely placed and capable to deliver new SAF industries in any climate or geography.
Every country faces environmental challenges, which are often tied to waste and pollutants from their dominant industries. With CirculAir, countries and project developers can turn these wastes and pollutants into clean and circular fuels, providing an alternative to the carbon-intensive processes of waste management, shipment, and disposal.
Due to CirculAir’s diverse feedstock platform, it has unique global compatibility. Different industries and ecosystems are individually linked with different environmental challenges, sources of wastes and by-products, and feedstocks. The vast majority of these sources will be able to be processed efficiently through the CirculAir platform, regardless of its climate or geography.

Proven. De-risked. Scaling globally.
LanzaJet and LanzaTech, while two separate companies, often collaborate on SAF projects throughout the world, including the United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, Australia, and New Zealand.
Through the launch of CirculAir, LanzaJet and LanzaTech are now offering the market a seamless solution for an end-to-end waste to SAF product.
