LanzaJet, a leading next-generation fuel technology company and producer of sustainable fuels, announced a new agreement with Microsoft to adopt Microsoft Azure as its preferred cloud platform. This agreement marks an expansion of LanzaJet’s collaboration with Microsoft and underscores the critical role of innovation in developing next-generation aviation fuels.
LanzaJet will leverage Azure to support its global growth by enhancing the company’s operational systems, financial platforms, and data-driven decision-making capabilities, including those related to plant performance and supply chain optimization.
“For early-stage technology companies like LanzaJet, partners are important, and Microsoft has supported us from the beginning,” said Anne Sidio , LanzaJet’s Chief Transformation Officer. “This agreement builds on a multi-layered relationship with Microsoft-from the initial investment in our company to renewable fuel supply agreements and, now, digital infrastructure-reflecting the kind of collaboration needed to accelerate innovation, scale operations, and build a secure and resilient global platform.”

Microsoft has been a key partner in LanzaJet’s journey, providing capital and commercial alignment. The Microsoft Climate Innovation Fund was one of the first institutions to invest in LanzaJet, providing one of the company’s first low-interest loans to finance the construction of LanzaJet Freedom Pines Fuels, the world’s first commercial ethanol-to-SAF plant in Soperton, Georgia . Microsoft reinforced this commitment in 2024 with a direct investment in LanzaJet to support the continued global deployment of its technology.
“Microsoft’s continued support of LanzaJet reinforces the crucial role that enterprise technology can play in climate innovation,” said Alistair Speirs , senior director of Global Azure Infrastructure at Microsoft. “We’re excited to partner with a leader in the sustainable fuels industry and be part of LanzaJet‘s ongoing mission to decarbonize aviation.”
