Enough good news……you've had your quota LanzaTech!
Enough good news……you've had your quota LanzaTech!
By Peter Kerr for sticK
(sticK - 1 Feb. 2011 ) Is it possible to have too much good news from New Zealand media's point of view?
Perhaps that's the case for LanzaTech, whose proprietary bacterial fermentation technology converts waste gas streams to useful products such ethanol.
And we're not just talking small beer. Along the way since 2005 LanzaTech has acquired outside investors too, putting millions into further development in the expectation of even bigger paybacks in the near future.
But doing good things for the planet while making money, and developing its home base as a centre of excellence isn't the shock, horror, 'the world's a basketcase' type story media thrives on.
