The LanzaTech Process Gas feed stream Gas reception CompressionFermentation Recovery Product tank Gases are sole source of energy 60 patents, including two proprietary microbe patents Direct production of fuels and chemicals Indirect production of drop-in hydrocarbon fuels Novel gas fermentation technology captures CO-rich gases and converts the carbon to fuels and chemicals

190 billion gal/yr 1.3 billion tons/yr potential in US 30 billion gal/yr Potential for Significant Impact Petcoke Steel Industry Ethanol Potential From LanzaTech Process 70 million tons/yr Globally 1.4 billion tons steel/yr Globally Biomass 4.5 billion gal/yr Significant Impact on Fuel Pool No Impact on Food Production

Challenge: Energy Efficient Carbon Capture  LanzaTech process produces valuable products with a higher energy efficiency than a power plant  LanzaTech captures 30% of the carbon from BOF gas as valuable hydrocarbons *Reference: DOE/NETL-2007/1281 “Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants” 30% of Carbon in BOF gas is Captured as Ethanol Redefining Carbon Capture

Producing Other Fuels and Chemicals  Direct production of chemicals –2,3-Butanediol –Isoprene –MEK –Propanol –Butanol  Multi step production of chemicals and chemical intermediates –Olefins (ethylene, propylene, butylene) –MEK  Path to “Drop in” hydrocarbon fuels –Gasoline –Diesel –Jet Fuel

Unique Synthetic Biology Capability In Place Proprietary microbe Genetic tool kit Robust Genetic modification capability operational Multiple proprietary genomes secured Detailed gene control database constructed Plug-and play gene expression / gene regulation system developed + LanzaTech bacteria have been successfully modified to allow Butanol, Acetone and Propanol to each be separately produced from gases.

Triple Win for LanzaTech Ranked 38 in Top 100 people in Bioenergy Ranked 31 in Top 50 Companies in Bioenergy Technology of the Year Award Ranked among the top 100 private companies in Asia. Ranked among the top 100 private companies globally. The Global Cleantech 100 highlights the most promising private clean technology companies around the world. The global Red Herring Top 100, which recognises LanzaTech as one of the 100 most innovative new technology companies. Double Win for LanzaTech 2011 NZBIO Company of the Year Cofounder and chief scientist Dr. Sean Simpson won the NZBIO 2011 Young Biotechnologist of the Year Award

Summary To meet growing energy demand & stabilize atmospheric CO 2 levels - need to diversify fuel pool and introduce >30% drop in zero carbon fuels The LanzaTech process can capture non-food, waste carbon to produce low cost alcohols Alcohols produced via the LanzaTech process are an excellent substrate for conversion to drop-in hydrocarbon fuels Commercial alcohol production rates on raw industrial waste gases has been demonstrated at scale Compelling volumes of waste gases world wide have potential to make significant impact on the fuel pool Strong business development pipeline will accelerate commercialization process Collaborating with leading conversion partners, industry agencies, and certification bodies to develop sustainable, low cost, integrated hydrocarbon fuels processes from non-food sources
