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

Green Car Congress

Part of the challenge is locating sufficient quantities of hydrogen to enable large scale use of the CO 2 in waste gases. Accordingly, LanzaTech has begun look at the industrial conversion of acetic acid/acetate to lipids, and has demonstrated this. that conversion wouldn’t actually happen in a LanzaTech bioreactor.
