Boeing 787 - a carbon-fiber plane burning carbon-based fuel Carbon is Pervasive Heavy Industry Steel Steelmaking, ferroalloy production, and other industrial processes use carbon as a reagent Transportation Fuels High energy density fuels allow for cars, boats, and planes Liquid Fuels Chemical Products Carbon forms the backbone of all organic chemical and material products All food contains carbon Nutrition DNA: The green is carbon. Our biochemistry is entirely dependent on carbon, as is all of the food that we eat 1,3-butadiene (precursor for rubber) Boeing 787 - a carbon-fiber plane burning carbon-based fuel Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET plastic) 4

But Problematic when Combusted Greenhouse Gas Emissions (CO2, CH4) Combustion of carbon-containing energy sources inherently produces CO2. Incomplete combustion and gas venting result in additional CO2 and CH4 emissions. These greenhouse gases have been identified as the primary cause of climate change. Greenhouse gas emissions are a global problem with global consequences. Particulate Emissions (PM10, PM2.5) Carbon combustion also releases particulates into the atmosphere. Accumulation of particulates in our air has severe consequences for human health. Particulates pose a local threat, and are the chief culprit of air pollution that we can see, smell, and taste. They are also a global problem! Studies have verified the presence of particulates in the US that originated from fossil fuel combustion in China.1 NOx, SOx, and Hg Emissions Nitrous oxides, sulfur oxides, and mercury emissions are also a direct result of fossil fuel combustion. These emissions have a significant negative impact on human health, with a particularly strong link to respiratory illnesses. They are also detrimental to the local environment, as NOx and SOx are the primary cause of acid rain. 1. http://aliciapatterson.org/stories/china%E2%80%99s-rise-creates-clouds-us-pollution 5

C The LanzaTech Process Gas Feed Stream Gas Reception Compression Fermentation Recovery Product Tank Novel gas fermentation technology captures CO-rich gases and converts the carbon to fuels and chemicals Proprietary Microbe Process recycles waste carbon into fuels and chemicals Gases are sole source of carbon and energy for the organism Potential to make material impact on the future energy pool (>100s of billions of gallons per year) Innovative: gases are sole source of energy Proprietary: 60 patents, including two proprietary microbe patents Integrative: Direct production of fuels and chemicals (2,3 Butanediol, Isoprene, Propanol, Butanol, MEK); multi step production of chemicals and chemical intermediates (olefins) Thermo Chemical Opportunities: 2,3 Butanediol produced through the LanzaTech Process can be used to make true “Drop in” hydrocarbon fuels (gasoline, diesel, jet fuel). The LanzaTech (LT) process converts waste gas from steel mills to ethanol. These steel mill gases are often flared and emitted as CO2. By producing fuel from these waste gases, the LT process addresses critical sustainability issues related to land use and competition with food: it requires no land other than existing industrial facilities to co-locate plants and its carbon resource is entirely independent of the food chain.

Get as Much Value as we Can from Every Carbon Molecule Sources of Carbon Traditional (Virgin) Recycled or Underutilized Get as Much Value as we Can from Every Carbon Molecule 9

Enabling Industrial Carbon Efficiency LanzaTech complements industries that require carbon, by reusing their residual carbon. The process turns waste from carbon based processes into additional fuel and chemical products that require carbon. This reduces global fossil carbon requirements by making more efficient use of carbon. It also means a net reduction in local air pollution associated with combustion of carbon-based residues. The Steel Industry is one example: 10

Carbon Efficiency Means Cleaner Air By making more efficient use of the carbon required by industry, we burn less carbon overall reducing global GHG. On a local level, burning less carbon means lower PM, NOx, and SOx emissions. Air Pollutant Comparison between LanzaTech Ethanol and Electricity Production from BOF Gas 0.12 Flaring Power Generation LanzaTech Fermentation 0.1 g/MJ Gas 0.08 0.06 0.04 0.02 Particulate Matter NOx SOx LanzaTech ethanol has lifecycle carbon emissions that are 70% less than that of fossil gasoline. The process also reduces local PM, NOx, and SOx emissions by more than 85%. 11
