LanzaTech secures $15M debt financing from Western Technology Investment
3 October 2012
Waste gases-to-fuels and -chemicals technology company LanzaTech has closed on $15 million in debt financing from Western Technology Investment (WTI), a private investment firm based in Silicon Valley. Earlier this year, LanzaTech closed a $55.8-million Series C funding round led by Malaysian Life Sciences Capital Fund, bringing the total capital raised to date to more than $100 million.
LanzaTech has developed a novel biological process of carbon capture and reuse using proprietary biological microbes that can use a variety of waste gases as a nutrient source— including waste gases from industry.
Operating completely outside the food value chain, LanzaTech can also use syngas generated from any biomass resource (such as municipal biowaste, organic industrial waste, and agricultural waste) and reformed natural gas.
