en.Wedoany.com Reported - US-based LanzaTech has selected the North Sea Port in Ghent, Belgium, as the site for the European Union's first commercial-scale alcohol-to-jet (ATJ) sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) plant. The facility, which is scheduled to commence operations by the end of this decade, will cost €500 million (approximately US$589 million) and is expected to produce 79,000 metric tons annually.

The construction site for this project is located in the North Sea Port area of Ghent, Belgium, with a total investment of €500 million. According to the plan, the plant will officially commence operations by the end of this decade, becoming the first commercial-scale alcohol-to-jet sustainable aviation fuel production base in the EU. The facility has a designed annual production capacity of 79,000 metric tons.

Alcohol-to-jet sustainable aviation fuel is one of the key technological pathways for decarbonizing the aviation industry. The site selection and preliminary planning for this plant have been advanced and implemented by LanzaTech. The project is currently in the site selection and planning phase, with construction and equipment installation to follow.

This project aims to provide a low-carbon fuel alternative for the air transport sector through commercial-scale production of sustainable aviation fuel. Upon completion, LanzaTech plans to leverage the logistics and industrial supporting conditions of the North Sea Port for ongoing operations.
