About Lydian

Lydian builds turnkey CO₂-to-fuel plants that convert carbon dioxide and hydrogen into synthetic jet fuel. Its PIVOT™ system combines an electrothermally heated RWGS syngas reactor, a modified Fischer-Tropsch fuel synthesis module and balance-of-plant subsystems, all developed in-house. The company states that PIVOT plants have a target deployment of under two years and can run directly on intermittent renewable power.

Customers are owners and operators of synthetic fuel production facilities, as well as airlines, fuel buyers and corporate offtakers that Lydian supplies with direct SAF. The company sells turnkey plants and fuel supply, and is developing RFNBO-compliant e-SAF projects based on hydrogen from water electrolysis.

Lydian was founded in 2021 and is headquartered in Charlestown, Boston, according to press coverage listed on its website. It operates a pilot plant that produces fuel and plans commercial volumes from 2028. Co-founders are Joe Rodden (CEO) and Dr. Branko Zugic (CTO). Open roles are in Boston, covering mechanical, test, coatings and software engineering.

Product: PIVOT™ turnkey modular plant system converting CO₂ and hydrogen into synthetic jet fuel, plus direct SAF supply.
