Lydian has opened a 25,000-square-foot R&D Center of Excellence at Hood Park in Boston's Charlestown neighborhood. Founded in 2021, Lydian is developing technology to convert waste CO2 into low-cost sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), reducing lifecycle emissions by up to 95%.

The facility will support the company's goal of launching a commercial-scale demonstration plant by 2027 and may lead to the addition of 40 new employees over the next three years. Hood Park has become a hub for clean tech and life sciences, housing companies like ArkeaBio and Indigo Ag. Lydian's expansion is part of Massachusetts' commitment to fostering innovative climate solutions and job creation in the region.
