CEO & Board Director @LanzaJet. Making Sustainable Aviation Fuel (#SAF) from waste and low carbon sources a reality today.

[LanzaJet @LanzaJet]

SAF doesn’t just stand for Sustainable Aviation Fuel — it’s also Secure American Fuel. At LanzaJet, we’re driving innovation that cuts aviation emissions while strengthening US energy independence, supporting rural communities, and creating good-paying jobs right here at home.

[Jimmy Samartzis @JimmySamartzis]

Excited to share @LanzaJet has been awarded more than $13 million from @transportgovuk's Advanced Fuels Fund to advance Project Speedbird, our sustainable aviation fuel biorefinery in Teesside. Grateful to the DfT for its leadership and for recognizing the critical role of #SAF.

Honored to see LanzaJet win the Accelerating Decarbonization award at the @Reuters Global Energy Transition Awards. Sustainable aviation fuel (#SAF) is critical for climate action and our Alcohol-to-Jet tech is being deployed commercially to transform how the world fuels flight.

[Jimmy Samartzis @JimmySamartzis]

From investment to offtake to now digital infrastructure, our partnership with @Microsoft continues to grow. Excited for this next step as @LanzaJet adopts @Azure to support our global scale-up and operational performance. https://t.co/X3VNZHaTgW

[LanzaJet @LanzaJet]

Big news for sustainable aviation fuel (#SAF) in Latin America! We’re proud to announce a new partnership with @BioD_SA to launch a feasibility study for Colombia’s first SAF plant using LanzaJet’s proprietary ethanol-based Alcohol-to-Jet (#ATJ) technology https://t.co/thz0By5iFo

Earlier this week, we celebrated Earth Day – and yesterday we had the chance to carry that spirit forward by welcoming some very special guests to @LanzaJet – the next generation of innovators, environmental stewards, and leaders. It was a special Bring Your Child to Work Day.

[Jimmy Samartzis @JimmySamartzis]

Excited to see @LanzaJet named a finalist in the @Reuters Global Energy Transition Awards– recognized in the Accelerating Decarbonization category along other innovators. This recognition is a reflection of the progress we’re making to scale sustainable aviation fuel (#SAF).

[Jimmy Samartzis @JimmySamartzis]

Last week in Washington, DC, I had the opportunity to speak at #ABLC about the future of #SustainableAviationFuel (#SAF) and the critical role it plays in reshaping the energy landscape, the impact it has on geopolitics, and the opportunity it creates for national prosperity.

I'm grateful for the opportunity to support the Advisory Board at the Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago (EPIC). uChicago is a special place for me. I look forward to supporting EPIC as they advance important work. https://t.co/KXs7JMhpsI

[LanzaJet @LanzaJet]

America’s farmers have always been the backbone of our economy. This National Ag Week, we celebrate the farmers/producers who keep this country running. At LanzaJet, we turn ethanol into sustainable aviation fuel—a solution that creates jobs and keeps investment in rural America.

[Jimmy Samartzis @JimmySamartzis]

@IllinoisMfgAssc @IMECillinois Mark, thank you for being a great leader in this space and the state. #TeamIllinois

[Jimmy Samartzis @JimmySamartzis]

Had a great discussion with @GovPritzker at the Illinois Future of Fuels Conference, where I delivered a keynote on how Illinois can lead the next era of low carbon fuels. At @LanzaJet, we're scaling SAF by deploying our ethanol-to-jet technology in Illinois and around the world.

[Jimmy Samartzis @JimmySamartzis]

SAF goes beyond sustainability — it’s about energy security, economic growth, and ensuring America is poised to lead the future of flight. The tech is ready. The aviation sector is on board. With the right government support, we can scale SAF faster and unlock new opportunities.

[LanzaJet @LanzaJet]

SAF doesn’t just stand for Sustainable Aviation Fuel — it’s also Secure American Fuel. At LanzaJet, we’re driving innovation that cuts aviation emissions while strengthening US energy independence, supporting rural communities, and creating good-paying jobs right here at home.

[Jimmy Samartzis @JimmySamartzis]

Exciting discussions at #IndiaEnergyWeek2025 on advancing Sustainable Aviation Fuel (#SAF) in India. @LanzaJet is proud to be working with @IndianOilcl to bring this project to life—scaling alternative fuels and strengthening India's energy future.

[Director (Refineries), IndianOil @DirR_iocl]

On the sidelines of #IndiaEnergyWeek2025, met Dr. Jennifer Holmgren, CEO, LanzaTech, and Chair, LanzaJet. Our discussions focused on the 3G Ethanol plant & upcoming SAF project at Panipat. Deliberated on a structured roadmap to fast-track IndiaOil’s biofuel leadership.

[Jimmy Samartzis @JimmySamartzis]

The US has the tech, feedstock, and workforce to lead the world in SAF—but without the right policies, we risk ceding ground to global competitors. Scaling SAF isn’t just about aviation—it’s about American jobs, energy security, and economic strength. https://t.co/osjr8DGqxo

[Mike Kane MP @MikeKaneMP]

Brilliant that @LanzaJet has chosen Teesside’s Wilton International site for their new production facility.

I’m proud to see our funding driving investment into sustainable fuel, helping to make air travel cleaner and supporting jobs and skills across the UK.

[Jimmy Samartzis @JimmySamartzis]

Great to see our article published in @HydrocarbonEng sharing progress on our Project Speedbird in the UK. @LanzaJet's own Richard Marsh and Leigh Hudson from our investor and project partner International Airlines Group (IAG) talk about the work: https://t.co/Zh0mS6Gabn

[Jimmy Samartzis @JimmySamartzis]

The Farm to Fly Act is a gamechanger for US energy. It’s about using our resources, supporting our farmers, creating jobs, taking control of our energy future. Sustainable Aviation Fuel is key to achieving energy dominance. Statement from @TheSAFCoalition: https://t.co/w3SgWxMYE7
