LanzaTech , Virgin Atlantic and partners have secured project development funding with a £ 410,000 grant from the UK government to build the world 's first commercial ethanol - to - jet fuel facility . The facility will produce jet fuel by converting low carbon ethanol from waste ##water . LanzaTech is working on a sustainable green chemistry platform for production of acetone and downstream drop - in fuel and commodity products directly from biomass syngas via a novel energy conversion process in engineered acetogenic bacteria .
