LanzaJet, ATOBA team up for commercial SAF models

Sustainable fuels production company LanzaJet and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) aggregator ATOBA Energy to collaborate on accelerating SAF deployment and creating new commercial models for the market.

The two companies will partner to enable greater access to SAF through new pricing and offtake structures that balance the needs of both SAF producers and buyers. The agreement outlines a shared intent to evaluate commercial models that support SAF procurement in ways that reflect the value of the Alcohol-to-Jet (ATJ) fuel pathway pioneered by LanzaJet.

“Scaling SAF requires flexible, forward-thinking commercial models that work for both producers and consumers,” said Jimmy Samartzis, Chief Executive Officer of LanzaJet.

​“This collaboration with ATOBA Energy is about building the kind of aligned ecosystem we need to drive innovation, catalyze investment, and accelerate SAF deployment globally. It’s another step forward in ensuring that the value of next-generation technologies like ours can be realized at scale because the future growth and sustainability of aviation depends on it.”

ATPOBA helps SAF production through its upstream and downstream SAF offtake portfolio management.

“We are delighted to develop long term offtake agreement models with LanzaJet, a company that is leading the alcohol-to-jet (ATJ) pathway. ATJ plays a key technological role in scaling the SAF industry as it contributes to using the best production route and feedstock depending on the specific regional characteristics,” highlighted ATOBA Energy co-founder and CEO Arnaud Namer.

Earlier in February, French biomass-to-clean fuels solution provider Haffner Energy announced it has partnered with SAF aggregator ATOBA Energy for long-term offtake agreement. Haffner Energy is already developing multiple SAF projects, notably Paris-Vatry SAF in France, where full scale production is expected to be reached by 2030.
