Overview

Lydian has developed PIVOT™, a full‑stack, modular production platform that integrates proprietary reactors, catalysts, process design, software, and balance‑of‑plant into factory‑built modules for synthetic aviation fuel. The platform is designed to cut project capital costs by more than 50% versus competing technologies, operate flexibly with intermittent renewable electricity, and reduce lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions by up to 95%. Lydian produces ASTM‑approved, drop‑in sustainable aviation fuel from captured CO2 and hydrogen and is positioning PIVOT to enable faster, lower‑cost deployment of synthetic fuel projects. The company operates a tonne‑scale pilot plant at its Boston R&D Center of Excellence and plans a commercial demonstration facility targeted for 2028 with first full‑scale commercial deployment expected in 2030. Financially, the company completed a $43 million Series A to support commercialization and deployment activities.
