(NAFB.com) – Sustainable aviation fuel pioneer LanzaJet was presented with the 2026 Industry Award during the National Ethanol Conference in Orlando, Florida. The award from the Renewable Fuels Association honored the company for becoming the world’s first to produce jet fuel from ethanol at a commercial-scale facility last year. “Preparing an entirely new technology means stepping into the unknown,” said RFA President and CEO Geoff Cooper. “It means years of research without guarantees, overcoming technical setbacks, earning trust from partners and regulators, and having the resilience to persist when the path forward isn’t yet clear,” Cooper said. The accomplishment is the result of 15 years of research, innovation, investment, and teamwork. “LanzaJet has not only advanced the global deployment of sustainable aviation fuel but also created new opportunities for decarbonization, economic development, and energy security for the world,” he added.
