LanzaTech process produces valuable products with a higher energy efficiency than a power plant
LanzaTech captures 30% of the carbon from BOF gas as valuable hydrocarbons
*Reference: DOE/NETL-2007/1281 “Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants”
30% of Carbon in BOF gas is Captured as
Ethanol

Summary
• To meet growing energy demand & stabilize atmospheric CO2 levels - need to diversify fuel pool and introduce >30% drop in zero carbon fuels
• The LanzaTech process can capture non-food, waste carbon to produce low cost alcohols
• Alcohols produced via the LanzaTech process are an excellent substrate for conversion to drop-in hydrocarbon fuels
• Commercial alcohol production rates on raw industrial waste gases has been demonstrated at scale
• Compelling volumes of waste gases world wide have potential to make significant impact on the fuel pool
• Strong business development pipeline will accelerate commercialization process
• Collaborating with leading conversion partners, industry agencies, and certification bodies to develop sustainable, low cost, integrated hydrocarbon fuels processes from non-food sources
