Should the lab and pilot work prove successful and scalable, they will place a demo plant in Malaysia, Burton said. Part of the challenge is locating sufficient quantities of hydrogen to enable large scale use of the CO 2 in waste gases. LanzaTech envisions using partner technology to convert the acetic acid to lipids—i.e.,
