Where are we headed? Climate Change Acid Rain
Increased Respiratory Illness
GHG Emissions (CO2, CH4)
Particulate Emissions
NOx, SOx, and Hg Emissions
Ozone pollution
23% childhood mortality India 94M people without food
34% increase in the warming effect on our
climate 1990 - 2013
NOx levels 243% higher than pre-industrial era
Reductions in Crop Yield

Keep it in the Ground! A 2-degree carbon budget will require countries to leave
80 % of coal, 50 % of gas and 33 % of global oil in the ground. Organization for Economic Growth and Development, Nature
The LanzaTech process is driving innovation
Gas Feed Stream
Gas Reception Compression Fermentation Recovery Product Tank
• Process recycles waste carbon into fuels and chemicals • Potential to make material impact on the future energy pool
(>100s of billions of gallons per year)
Novel gas fermentation technology captures CO-rich
gases and converts the carbon to fuels and chemicals
Proprietary Microbe
Gases are the sole energy and carbon source
Utilizing waste gases from a variety of industries in India is equivalent to removing
~8M Cars from the road each year!
