This work will see Twelve converting CO 2 to CO, which will in turn be converted by LanzaTech’s proprietary microbe to isopropyl alcohol (IPA). Polypropylene is a major polymer used in key applications, including medical devices like syringes and IV bags, automotive, furniture, textiles, and other durable products.

They were able to convert amorphous polypropylene and everyday bags and bottles effectively to lubricants with yields up to 80+%. The reaction network involves the sequential conversion of polymer into the oil with a gradual decrease of molecular weight until ?700–800 Kots, Sibao Liu, Brandon C. Vance, Cong Wang, James D.

Transform Materials has developed a novel and sustainable microwave plasma reactor process to convert natural gas into high-value hydrogen and acetylene, thereby opening up a new pathway for green chemical manufacturing. Acetylene can be then converted into many derivative chemicals, all possessing high value.

Methane monooxygenases (MMOs), found in methanotrophic bacteria, are selective catalysts for methane activation and conversion to methanol under mild conditions; however, these enzymes are not amenable to standard enzyme immobilization approaches. The enzymes retain up to 100% activity in the polymer construct. Blanchette et al.
