Twelve and LanzaTech successfully convert CO2 to ethanol

Green Car Congress

It’s also often produced using corn and other crop feedstocks, but this approach is dependent on crops that otherwise could be used to grow food or waste feedstocks. Our partnership with Twelve provides us with the feedstock needed to create critical resources like ethanol without adding CO 2 to the atmosphere.
