Satisfying the world's growing appetite threatens to derail efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and prevent the worst impacts of climate change.

LanzaTech CEO Jennifer Holmgren with Richard Branson and the then CEO of Virgin Atlantic, Steve Ridgway, in front of Battersea Power Station in London in 2011 when LanzaTech and Virgin Atlantic announced their partnership.LanzaTech gets around that resource problem by partnering with industrial customers to capture carbon-rich emissions and pump them into a reactor filled with microbes first identified in rabbits.

The United Kingdom also awarded LanzaTech a grant to study whether it's feasible to construct a British plant that would produce 30 million gallons per year of the jet fuel. The company wants to build another 30 million gallons per year facility elsewhere in the world. "If we can produce, for example, a molecule used to produce a fiber or nylon or rubber, then we can take the carbon waste streams from society, industry and agriculture and fix them into everyday materials like tires and clothing and carpets," Simpson said.
