Captured carbon becomes palm oil-like fat in breakthrough for aviation fuel
SMRTR summary
LanzaTech has developed technology to convert waste CO₂ into palm oil-like fats, offering a sustainable alternative for cosmetics and aviation fuel. Partnering with Fraunhofer IGB and Mibelle Group, the process uses dual fermentation to transform carbon emissions into alcohol, then synthetic oils. This addresses palm oil's environmental issues while creating a new pathway for sustainable aviation fuel production. The innovation helps diversify fuel sources and reduces environmental impact across industries.
