LanzaTech

Developer of a process that increases industrial energy efficiency by capturing waste gases (CO, CO2) and converting them to fuels and chemicals
Private Company - Shipping Product/Pilot - 85 employees

Overview

LanzaTech develops waste gas to fuels platforms that capture waste gases (CO, CO2), making it a suitable technology for capturing greenhouse gas emissions also. The technology enables direct displacement of fossil fuels with biomass derived ethanol. The process produces low carbon fuel using a country's own resources, so it has no impact on food or water security, and is well suited to applications in Asia.
