We’re always pleased to hear about new technologies that aim to get the steel industry on the right side of the environmental impact debate – see ArcelorMittal and ThyssenKrupp announcements. So we’re happy to relay the announcement from LanzaTech in New Zealand regarding their technology to deal with carbon monoxide. Here’s what they say:
LanzaTech has developed a proprietary platform for producing lowest-cost fuel ethanol in any industrialized geography, at a much larger scale than is currently being envisioned elsewhere. LanzaTech’s core technology allows carbon monoxide containing gases to be used for fuel and chemical production by fermentation.
And here is the full release. All observations and comments welcome.
