US COMPANY INVESTS £600M IN EAST YORKSHIRE FACTORY
ABOUT 150 long-term jobs are expected to be created in a £600m investment by US firm LanzaTech as it creates a sustainable aviation fuel factory in East Yorkshire.
The carbon recycling firm says 300 jobs overall will come in the construction and in operation of the major 'Dragon II' project at Saltend Chemicals Park.
Work is expected to start on the facility in the second half of 2027, with production set to start in 2030.
Once operational, the site is expected to deliver around 80,000 tonnes of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), which is about 1 per cent of UK jet fuel requirements, and 8,000 tonnes of renewable diesel annually.
The Illinois-based firm has received financial support from the UK Govern ment including a £6.4m grant from the Department for Transport's Advanced Fuels Fund in July last year. LanzaTech is using the funds to progress Dragon II alongside Dragon I, based at Port Talbot in Wales.
