LanzaTech Global, headquartered in Skokie, Illinois, has been awarded a contract by Spray Engineering Devices (SED) to develop a next-generation ethanol production facility in Uttar Pradesh.
The facility will utilise sugarcane bagasse, an agricultural waste byproduct, to produce sustainable fuels and chemicals. Designed to process up to 300 tonnes of bagasse per day, the project forms a key component of SED’s “Smart Village” concept, which aims to unlock the economic potential of renewable power and carbon resources.
The Smart Village model focuses on redirecting carbon demand toward high-value products such as green chemicals, polymers, and sustainable aviation fuels (SAF). In addition to ethanol, the facility will also produce biochar, a nutrient-rich byproduct that can enhance soil fertility and support local agricultural communities.
LanzaTech will deploy its proprietary bioreactor technology to convert carbon-rich gases—including CO₂ and green hydrogen—into ethanol. This process enables the production of renewable fuels and chemicals while diverting biomass waste from open burning, contributing to lower emissions and circular carbon utilization.
