Life's a gas as LanzaTech picks up an engineering partner
Life's a gas as LanzaTech picks up an engineering partner
By Peter Kerr for sticK
(sticK - 14 June 2011 ) Auckland-based, globally oriented clean tech company LanzaTech seems to have partnered up with a very useful collaborator for the next stage of its growth.
LanzaTech uses a gas fermentation technology, with patented bacteria, to convert industrial plant waste gas flues into useful products. As an example of turning something nasty into something of benefit to us, and removing the polluting and climate warming effects of the gases from the atmosphere, it scores heavily on many fronts.
Already it has signed partnering deals with a Korean steelmaker, Chinese coal producers/users and India's largest oil marketer.
To complete an Asian quartet, it has also just signed a MOU with Japan's Mitsui Global Strategic Studies Institute, and perhaps more tellingly, with its close relative Mitsui Plant Systems - its engineered plants business group.
