Global energy demand will double over the next 40 years.

Containing CO2 growth to safe atmospheric levels requires that zero carbon renewable fuels make up more than 30% of the fuel pool.

Industrial growth must be offset by increased energy efficiency, minimized waste and a reduced GHG footprint to protect climate.

LanzaTech responds to our critical 21st Century challenges by capturing and beneficially reusing waste carbon and producing a zero carbon fuel.

“…….Scandinavian countries, and the Netherlands, have all leveraged their natural

resources, some with a heavy agricultural basis, encouraging innovation within traditional

sectors, while also over time growing high value, high-tech industries.”
