LanzaTech exploring lipids production as part of its CO2 to acetic acid plans; pathways to renewable fuels

Green Car Congress

In CO fermentation, explained LanzaTech Communications Director Freya Burton, CO can serve as the carbon and the energy source whereas CO 2 can serve only as the carbon source. Part of the challenge is locating sufficient quantities of hydrogen to enable large scale use of the CO 2 in waste gases. Carbon Dioxide as a Feedstock.
