LanzaJet develops and licenses patented ethanol-based alcohol-to-jet (ATJ) technology to create sustainable aviation fuel and renewable diesel. Its flagship Freedom Pines Fuels plant in Soperton, Georgia is the world’s first fully integrated, commercial-scale ethanol-to-fuels facility and, in late 2025, produced ASTM on-spec jet fuel, marking the first commercial-scale SAF made from ethanol. The company’s technology offers a non-oil-based, scalable solution compatible with today’s aircraft, positioning it to accelerate decarbonization in aviation. LanzaJet is also advancing Project Speedbird, a major SAF biorefinery planned for Teesside in the United Kingdom, aided by a grant from the UK Department for Transport’s Advanced Fuels Fund. An innovative multi-year tolling structure at Freedom Pines secures waste-based ethanol feedstock and guarantees offtake for all production. Financially, the firm has attracted backing from strategic investors such as Airbus, All Nippon Airways, Breakthrough Energy, IAG, Shell, and Microsoft’s Climate Innovation Fund. The latest capital raise values the company at $650 million pre-money and supports further commercial deployments of its ATJ technology.

Founded in 2022, Alltheway has developed what it calls the first operating system dedicated to baggage logistics, allowing passengers’ luggage to be checked in and tracked from city centers through every transit point to final delivery in the destination city. The platform links airlines, airports, hotels, rail operators, and event venues through a shared API ecosystem, creating a more fluid and secure baggage journey that can reduce time spent in airports to mere minutes. The company already moves more than 1,200 bags per day and collaborates with high-profile partners such as Accor, Air France, RATP, Groupe ADP, Disneyland Paris, ViParis, and SNCF. With fresh funding, Alltheway plans to bolster its technology stack, expand its API suite, and accelerate international rollout—specifically eyeing the United States and establishing Morocco as a hub for wider African expansion. Management envisions the product becoming the standard operating system for luggage in the era of AI-enabled travel. Although revenue figures were not disclosed, the startup has twice attracted strategic investors from the travel and infrastructure sectors, underscoring strong commercial validation. The company expects the new capital to deepen integrations across mobility, hospitality, and event segments while scaling daily bag volume and geographic reach.
