Chicago conference looking into ways to make transportation more sustainable
A major conference in Chicago this week was focused on finding sustainable solutions to some of the nation's biggest environmental problems, and one major concern was transportation. Emissions from cars and trucks are among the greatest sources of air pollution in the Chicago area. With Illinois' air pollution worse than the national average, experts are talking about ways to change that. At the Sustainability Research and Innovation Congress in downtown Chicago this week, global leaders gathered to focus on solutions for making transportation more sustainable and better for the environment; whether it be planes, trains, buses, or cars. "Chicago really has the ability to be sort of an epicenter for climate leadership," said Erik G. Birkerts, Chief Growth Officer at LanzaJet, a sustainable fuel technology company. Imad Al-Qadi, the Director of the Illinois Center for Transportation, said transportation is responsible for 29% of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States – known to have an impact on health and the environment. In Chicago, transportation accounts for 32% of greenhouse gas emissions. "We are at a point where we can make a big change," Al-Qadi said. "We have a very aggressive program to reduce the energy that is generated from the coal." As part of the Climate and Equitable Jobs Act passed in 2021, Illinois has a goal to achieve 100% clean energy by 2050. "Transportation is one of these sectors that is known to be as hard to decarbonize," Birkerts said. So what's happening in Chicago, and what more can be done to reach the state's clean energy goal? Spokespeople for the CTA said the agency is environmentally conscious, and after successfully deploying two electric buses in 2014, they have plans to add 20 to 30 more in the next few years. A spokesperson for Metra said the rail agency this week won a more than $23 million award to buy three battery-electric switch locomotives, replacing some of Metra's oldest, most-polluting diesel locomotives. "The purchase, which will comply with the federal Build America Buy America Act, will serve as a pilot project to test battery-electric technology for railroad locomotives. Metra will also provide $5.8 million as the local match for the project. The project is expected to go out to bid later this year," the agency said. Pace representatives said they are also focused on sustainability, noting the agency recently broke ground on its first all-electric bus facility in Waukegan. "Our Project Zero initiative is focused on sustainability. All of the program goals and milestones are on the project webpage," a spokesperson said in an email. "The public transportation is always saving in the emission anyway," Al-Qadi said.

LANZAJET EXPANDS PARTNERSHIP WITH MICROSOFT TO STRENGTHEN THE COMPANY'S GLOBAL GROWTH
This agreement deepens multi-level collaboration with Microsoft across climate investment, renewable fuel offtake, and now digital infrastructure CHICAGO, June 12, 2025 /CNW/ -- LanzaJet, Inc., a leading next-gen fuels technology company and producer of sustainable fuels, today announced a new agreement with Microsoft to adopt Microsoft Azure as the company's preferred cloud platform. The agreement marks an expansion of LanzaJet's partnership with Microsoft and underscores the central role innovation plays in scaling next-generation fuels for aviation. LanzaJet will leverage Azure to support their 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 matter, and Microsoft has been with us from the start," said Anne Sidio, Chief Transformation Officer at LanzaJet. "This agreement builds on a multi-level relationship with Microsoft, from early investment in our company to renewable fuel offtake 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 cornerstone partner in LanzaJet's journey, providing both capital and commercial alignment. The Microsoft Climate Innovation Fund was among the first institutions to invest in LanzaJet, offering one of the company's earliest low-interest loans to help finance the construction of LanzaJet Freedom Pines Fuels, the world's first commercial ethanol-to-SAF facility in Soperton, Georgia. Microsoft deepened that commitment in 2024 with a direct investment in LanzaJet to support continued global deployment of its technology. In addition to financial backing, Microsoft is also an offtaker of LanzaJet's fuels, leveraging renewable diesel as well as SAF Certificates (SAFc) from future LanzaJet projects to advance its own emissions reduction goals and fulfill its industry-leading sustainability commitments, including becoming carbon negative by 2030. With today's announcement, Microsoft becomes a core technology partner supporting LanzaJet's internal systems as the company scales its global operations. "Microsoft's continued support of LanzaJet reinforces the critical role enterprise-grade technology can play in climate innovation," said Alistair Speirs, Senior Director of Azure Global Infrastructure at Microsoft. "We are glad to be partnering with a leader in the sustainable fuels industry and be a part of LanzaJet's continued mission to decarbonize aviation." As LanzaJet expands its project portfolio across the U.S., Europe, Asia, and Latin America, building their global platform on Azure will enable secure, scalable connectivity across regions, while supporting robust data management in areas ranging from feedstock traceability to emissions accounting. This announcement follows a series of milestones for LanzaJet, including recent recognition from TIME100, S&P Global, and Reuters for the company's innovation, impact, and leadership in the global clean energy transition. LanzaJet is a leading alternative fuels technology provider with patented ethanol-based alcohol-to-jet (ATJ) technology. LanzaJet is creating an opportunity for future generations by accelerating the production and deployment of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and other alternative fuel technologies critical to transform the global economy.
