4 Carbon smart world Remaining: 1000 GtCO : 1900 GtCO 2 65% of 2 carbon budget: USED Must stay in the ground 4

5 Proprietary Acetogenic Biocatalyst Worlds first autotrophs Acetogenic bacterium with ability to utilize sole energy and carbon source CO CO+H 2 or CO+CO 2 +H 2 CO 2 +H 2 gases as LanzaTech has developed a proprietary strain of Clostridium autoethanogenum 1 Obtained by extensive selection program, having improved characteristics High gas uptake and ethanol production rates Fast growth on defined minimal media Non-sporulating and non-motile 5
