Rethinking carbon

• Biological conversion of waste carbon from industrial processes
• Transforming it into useful commodities and fuel

LanzaTech is revolutionising the way the world thinks about carbon. The company's patented process involves the biological conversion of carbon to products through gas fermentation. 

By turning waste carbon from a liability into an opportunity, the company is accelerating the reduction of harmful emissions while creating new economic opportunities for companies, communities, and countries around the world.

Key benefits

Using microbes that grow on gases during fermentation (rather than sugars, as in traditional fermentation), carbon-rich waste gases and residues produced during, for example, steel manufacture, oil refining and chemical production are transformed into useful liquid commodities and fuels, used in everyday applications, providing a novel approach to carbon capture and reuse.
