LanzaTech Global, Inc. has been awarded a contract by Jakson Green to provide their 4G ethanol technology to India's 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. From developing India's largest green hydrogen fueling station to pioneering a low-carbon methanol plant for leading PSUs (Public Sector Undertakings), Jakson Green boasts a diverse portfolio in the green molecule space. This project marks their sixth marquee Power-to-X initiative within just 18 months, solidifying their position as a leader in India's clean energy transition.

With over 8,500 tons per annum (TPA) of green hydrogen and its derivatives under execution across these projects, Jakson Green is uniquely equipped to drive India towards a sustainable future. In India, LanzaTech's carbon recycling technology is already producing ethanol using refinery emissions from Indian Oil Corporation's Panipat facility, one of six plants using LanzaTech's technology at commercial scale worldwide. LanzaTech announced last year a strategic partnership with GAIL to explore innovative technology solutions that advance GAIL's Net Zero 2040 goals.

LanzaTech is also working with Mang Bangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Limited on a project to manufacture ethanol from agricultural residue, in addition to numerous other projects in earlier stages of development across multiple feedstocks.
