The LanzaTech Process

Gas Feed Stream

Gas Reception Compression Fermentation Recovery Product Tank

• Gases are sole source of energy

• Production of fuels and chemicals

• Potential to make material impact on the future energy pool (>100s of billions of gallons per year)

• Completely outside of the food value chain

• Biofuel, carbon capture and energy efficiency technology solution

Novel gas fermentation

technology captures CO-rich

gases and converts the carbon

to fuels and chemicals
