Gas fermentation

Turning captured CO2 into fuels, proteins, polymers and methanol via microbial gas fermentation, engineered microbes and algae — a carbon-utilization value chain from industrial emissions to circular carbon products.

Producing the world's most ubiquitous petrochemical building block from renewable biomass and captured carbon.

Microbial food protein grown by feeding hydrogen-oxidising bacteria a mix of hydrogen, CO2 and oxygen in gas-loop bioreactors — a land-free 'food from air' route now at commercial demonstration scale.

Acetogenic bacteria fix steel-mill and refinery off-gas (CO, CO2, H2) into recycled-carbon ethanol, acetone and sustainable aviation fuel through the Wood–Ljungdahl pathway — operated at commercial scale by LanzaTech licensees (the 210,000 t/yr Shougang plant, the €200M Steelanol plant at Ghent, and LanzaJet's Freedom Pines alcohol-to-jet facility) and extended to non-steel CO2 feedstocks by Cemvita's engineered-microbe platform.

Microbial single-cell protein grown by fermenting methane, CO2/hydrogen or side-streams into a high-protein feed ingredient that displaces fishmeal and deforestation-linked soymeal.

Rational design and optimization of microbial metabolic pathways to produce high-value chemicals, advanced materials, and alternative proteins at industrial scale.
