65% of 2°carbon budget: USED

1870-2011: 1900 GtCO2

Remaining: 1000 GtCO2

Must stay in the ground

Carbon smart world

Proprietary Acetogenic Biocatalyst

5

Worlds’ first autotrophs

Acetogenic bacterium with ability to utilize gases as sole energy and carbon source – CO– CO+H2 or CO+CO2+H2

– CO2+H2

LanzaTech has developed a proprietary

strain of Clostridium autoethanogenum

Obtained by extensive selection program,

having improved characteristics– High gas uptake and ethanol production rates– Fast growth on defined minimal media– Non-sporulating and non-motile
