Novel Chemical Production from Gas Fermentation
Platts Renewable Chemicals Conference October 18, 2012 Houston, Texas
Carl Wolf LanzaTech Inc.
Predictions are simply extrapolations
of the past…
…innovation expands
the ‘art of the possible’
…today’s ‘unimaginable’ is
tomorrow’s ‘conventional wisdom.’

Novel gas fermentation
technology captures carbon-
rich gases and converts them
to fuels and chemicals
The LanzaTech Process
• Gases are sole source of energy; completely outside of the food value chain
• Potential to make material impact on the future energy pool (>100s of billions of gallons per year)
• Production of fuels and chemicals
• Biofuel, carbon capture and energy efficiency technology solution

Summary
New paradigm in waste to sustainable fuels and chemicals
Platform Technology
– Large feedstock opportunity: only technology that converts industrial gas streams to liquid transportation fuels
– Broad product range: fuels and chemicals (ethanol, 2,3-butanediol, acetone, propanol, butanol, MEK)
– Large IP blocking opportunity
Well advanced through scale up
– Pilot operating since 2008
– Demonstration in operation in Shanghai
First Mover Advantage
