LanzaTech captures the waste gas from refineries and manufacturing plants and feeds the CO-rich gas to microbes that consume the gas and produce ethanol. The catalyst first removes water from the ethanol (dehydration), leaving behind ethylene. The fuel meets all the specifications required for use in commercial aviation.
