Gas Fermentation facility

As part of Project Dragon, LanzaTech is planning to build a pioneering carbon recycling facility on a brownfield, industrial site at the former Oil Refinery, Waterston, Milford Haven.  

The proposals would support the emergence of new low carbon technologies, create green jobs and tackle climate change whilst helping to deliver a just transition.

The proposed scheme would:

  • Cut carbon emissions, by transforming industrial waste into sustainable ethanol for use in sustainable aviation fuel production and supporting the wider decarbonisation of industry

  • Create green jobs and support a just transition to net zero

  • Provide wider social value benefits, with the potential for apprenticeships and work experiences and use of the local supply chain where possible

  • Regenerate an under-utilised brownfield site in an established industrial area to deliver a new, innovative carbon recycling facility

Ahead of the submission of an outline planning application, LanzaTech sought the views of local residents and businesses as part of a formal Pre-Application Consultation (PAC) which ran until 18 October 2024.

As part of the PAC, we have provided a summary of the draft planning application documents below. These documents will be finalised following the PAC process and submitted to Pembrokeshire County Council.

The site

The 11.51 hectare brownfield site would be a suitable setting for the proposed facility considering its industrial context. Existing industry near the site are expected to be able to provide the required waste gases for the Gas Fermentation process.

The process

The proposed facility would transform industrial waste gases via LanzaTech’s innovative Gas Fermentation technology into ethanol. Whilst the ethanol can be converted into low carbon products (clothing / packaging / fragrances) – this planning application is predicated on its onward use for sustainable aviation fuel production.
