LanzaTech is developing a synthetic palm oil substitute from recycled carbon to promote sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production, aiming for a deforestation-free feedstock. Collaborating with Germany's Fraunhofer Institute and Mibelle Group, the project focuses on converting captured CO2 into palm oil-like fats through yeast fermentation, with initial applications in the cosmetics sector. The initiative seeks to establish scalability and commercial viability within three years, while emphasizing the importance of corporate carbon credits and stable policies for investment in carbon recycling technologies.
