The LanzaTech process is driving innovation
Gas Feed Stream
Gas Reception Compression Fermentation Recovery ProductTank
• Process recycles waste carbon into fuels and chemicals
• Process brings underutilized carbon into the fuel pool via industrial symbiosis
• Potential to make material impact on the future energy pool (>100s of billions of gallons per year)

Building Experience
•4 pilot/demo units; 2 @ 400k lpy capacity•Over 40,000 combined hours on stream•Multiple runs exceeding 2000 hours•3 commercial projects past basic engineering design; 2 permitted; 1 LLE ordered
Field experience since 2008
•Continuous, stable ethanol production from synthetic refinery off gas in lab•High CO2 utilization (>45% of carbon fixed from CO2)
Lab and engineering/design experience since 2015
•MSW Pilot facility in operation•2 commercial plants in basic engineering design•Over 15,000 combined hours on stream since 2015

Building Confidence - Gas Testing Station (GTS)
Portable (4 x 4 x 5ft), self-contained, gas fermentation apparatus.
1) Confirm compatibility of site process water with the LanzaTech process.
2) Confirm compatibility of untreated site gas with the LanzaTech process.
3) If unsuccessful, test treated site gas and analyse
4) If successful, expand test to other gases potentially available for the commercial installation.
*Each exposure test runs minimum 7 days to allow potential accumulation of minor contaminants into the liquid phase. Samples can be sent to an independent laboratory to confirm metabolites.
Exposure rather than full performance test
