LanzaTech, presents an exciting opportunity to meet the increasing global demand for affordable, low carbon transport fuels and sustainably produced chemical intermediates.
Founded in 2005, LanzaTech has developed a fully integrated gas to liquid platform that can use a variety of waste gas resources typically flared from heavy industrial processes such as steel making, coal manufacturing, and oil refining and syngas generated from any biomass resource (including hydrogen free gases such as MSW, organic industrial waste, and agricultural waste); coal derived syngas; and steam reformed methane to produce valuable fuels and chemicals while promoting sustainable industrial growth, as the process enables manufacturing plants to recycle their waste carbon emissions without competing with feed and land resources.
Backed by global investment, LanzaTech has offices in the U.S., China, India and New Zealand and has a rapidly growing patent portfolio. With agreements now in place across a variety of sectors internationally, including steel, coal, refining and chemicals, LanzaTech’s technology is being scaled to commercial production.
LanzaTech is turning our global carbon crisis into a feedstock opportunity with the potential to displace 30% of crude oil use today and reduce global CO2 emissions by 10%. LanzaTech’s carbon recycling technology is like retrofitting a brewery onto an emission source like a steel mill, but instead of using sugars and yeast to make beer, pollution is converted by bacteria to fuels and chemicals! Imagine a day when your plane is powered by recycled GHG emissions, when your yoga pants started life as pollution from a steel mill. This future is possible using LanzaTech technology!
CarbonSmart™
LanzaTech sees a future where a steel mill, for example, would make lightweight steel for parts of a plane, and then use production emissions to make fuel for that plane as well as chemicals to produce the synthetic fibers, plastics and rubbers needed for the body and cabin of the aircraft. This is the circular economy in action: waste mitigation, resource efficiency and value add through carbon reductions.
Brands that choose to bring low carbon chemicals and fuels into their supply chain, allow consumers to choose between products made from fresh fossil carbon or products made from recycled carbon. We call these products “CarbonSmart™” as a reflection of buyers making a choice regarding where their carbon comes from.
All CarbonSmart™products can be further recycled using LanzaTech’s chemical recycling platform of gasification coupled with gas fermentation. This enables carbon to be infinitely recycled, locking it into the circular economy.
We see a future where consumers can identify “Carbon Smart™” products and make a choice where the carbon in their lives comes from.
