(NASDAQ: LNZA) (“LanzaTech”), the carbon recycling company, has been awarded a contract by Jakson Green, a new energy transition platform, to provide their 4G ethanol technology to India’s largest power generation utility company, NTPC Limited. NTPC’s facility in Central India will use LanzaTech’s technology platform and second generation bioreactor to convert CO2 emissions and green H2 into ethanol. LanzaTech deploys its biorecycling solution at industrial facilities, capturing carbon-rich gases at the source before they are emitted into the atmosphere. Inside the bioreactor, LanzaTech’s technology works like a brewery, but instead of using yeast to convert sugar into beer, proprietary microbes convert carbon-rich gases into sustainable fuels, chemicals, and raw materials. Focused on continuous improvement, LanzaTech’s second generation bioreactor is able to intake CO2 and H2 to produce ethanol, a key building block for the production of consumer goods and sustainable fuels, including sustainable aviation fuel and renewable diesel. Recognized as an abundant waste feedstock for the circular carbon economy, CO2 when used as the sole carbon source in carbon capture and utilization (CCU) technologies requires the input of H2. LanzaTech has proven its technology’s use of CO2 in a refinery setting with IndianOil Corporation, and this project with NTPC represents an expansion into the power generation industry with a feedstock stream where CO2 is the only carbon source. NTPC’s new carbon recycling facility is designed to showcase LanzaTech’s technology readiness for supporting regions advancing the energy transition and in turn, could enable the localized production of sustainable fuels, chemicals and raw materials from waste. The plant has been conceptualized and designed by LanzaT...
