Global energy demand will double over the next 40 years largely driven by growth in China and India. Containing CO2 growth to a 450 ppm scenario will require that zero carbon fuels make up more than 30% of the fuel pool.
as a manufacturing by-product in industries ranging from steel production to oil refining. Rather than allowing the CO gas to be emitted into the atmosphere as CO2, LanzaTech captures it and uses it as a resource. This costeffective carbon capture and beneficial re-use greatly improves the facilitys overall energy efficiency and profitability while reducing its carbon footprint.

At the heart of the LanzaTech process is our patented, wholly-owned microbe that uses gas as its sole source of carbon and energy for fuel and chemical production. Alternative technologies often require the use of food or farmed resources for renewable fuel production. Because our microbe is nutrient agnostic and completely tolerant to the extreme levels of contaminants found in steel mill and other industrial off gases, our process can use the lowest cost, most readily-available resources, including hydrogen-free gases. These include: Industrial flue gas from steel mills and other processing plants. These gases are rich in carbon monoxide and poor in hydrogen. Syngas generated from any biomass resource (e.g., municipal waste, agricultural or forestry waste, organic industrial waste such as tires and waste wood). Syngas contains both carbon monoxide and hydrogen. Coal-derived syngas rich in carbon monoxide and hydrogen. Steam reformed methane (e.g., biogas) that is rich in hydrogen. Through the utilization of these widely available resources, our process provides a strategically important route to renewable fuels without impacting food resources.
New Zealand having achieved an annual production capacity of 15,000 gallons using real waste gas to grow our microbes. This successful pilot program has proven the LanzaTech fermentation process works, clearly demonstrating: Commercial ethanol productivities Tolerance to contaminants in raw gas streams from the steel making process without gas scrubbing Scalability of reactor design LanzaTech now has a rapid commercialization plan in place, with the worlds first steel waste to ethanol production plant scheduled to be fully operational and profitable by 2013.
