North Sea Port in Ghent, Belgium, will host LanzaTech Global’s commercial-scale Alcohol-to-Jet (ATJ) sustainable aviation fuel facility—the first of its kind in Europe. As part of the FLITE (Fuel via Low carbon Integrated Technology from Ethanol) consortium, the project advances ethanol-to-jet SAF production within an industrial port setting.
