• Process recycles waste carbon into fuels and chemicals

• Process brings underutilized carbon into the fuel pool via industrial symbiosis

• Potential to make material impact on the future energy pool (>100s of billions of gallons per year)

CSC Board Approval

Public Announcements

China Steel Invest 7000 MM TWD Launch Two Projects 2015 -03-28 Economic Daily News

CSC board meeting held yesterday (27) has approved two investment project. It will spend 5600 MM TWD to overhaul No. 2 blast furnace of the third train; meanwhile investment 1400 MM TWD to erect a 100,000 ton per annum ethanol plant.

CSC states, trans-invested to WBT using LanzaTech (USA) fermentation technology, built an ethanol demonstration plant, in accordance with actual operation result, all indices were way exceed the targets, approve this technology worth for commercialization, will begin commercial plant at the year end.

Per the decision of CSC board, it will use the land near Xiao Gang Zhong Lin Road purchased from LCY to build the plant. The investment amount 1400 MM TWD. Starts production after estimated 2~3 years later. Per understanding, the plant will be in two phases, it will erect a 100,000 MT per annum production line, main application is gasoline additives and industrial ethanol.

Lifecycle GHG emissions following RED methodology

Fossil fuel comparator emissions (83.8 gCO2eq/MJ) from EU’s FQD

LanzaTech ethanol achieves a 76.6%

reduction in greenhouse gas emissions

over baseline fossil fuel

Key Assumptions:

• Cradle-to-pump lifecycle of ethanol

• EU’s Renewal Energy Directive methodology

• BOF gas considered as waste gas by steel industry and as residue by RSB.

• GHG emissions for LanzaTech ethanol from steel mill waste gas (BOF)

MSW to fuel

Project overviewLanzaTech has a two year partnership with a major Asian chemical company to convert live-feeds of syngas produced from municipal solid waste (MSW) into ethanol.

LanzaTech has designed, installed, and operates a pilot plant producing ethanol at a MSW processing facility.
