Microsoft’s Climate Innovation Fund will invest $50 million in a LanzaJet facility in Georgia to produce jet fuel from ethanol next year, according to a LanzaJet press release.

The invested funds will go toward finishing the construction of the Freedom Pines Fuels Plant in Soperton, Georgia, with plans to start producing 10 million gallons of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and renewable diesel per year from sustainable ethanol, including from waste-based feedstocks, in 2023.
