Carbon recycling for a cleaner greener future
鈥淲e must treat Climate Change as the true crisis it is and accelerate the implementation of all new approaches to support our war on carbon鈥, says CEO of LanzaTech, Dr Jennifer Holmgren.
鈥淲e currently recycle metals, plastics and paper - so why not recycle carbon?鈥, she says.
Carbon found in wastes from agriculture, forestry, unrecyclable items in municipal sites, and waste gases from manufacturing, to name a few, can be converted through biotechnological processes into everyday products, turning carbon pollution into economic opportunity and a win for the environment.
US based company LanzaTech is using its carbon recycling technology to convert pollution into alternative fuels and chemicals. The company has developed a gas fermentation process that recycles carbon rich industrial off gases from a wide range of industries at commercial scale.
鈥淭his approach embodies the circular economy taking waste streams to make new products with reduced environmental impact and helping businesses and consumers reach a post-pollution reality鈥, Dr Holmgren says.
To find out more about this fascinating technology, join us at the HiTeMP-3 Forum, where Jennifer will present 鈥淏ecoming CarbonSmart: Innovating your way to a post pollution future鈥.
The third international forum for high temperature minerals processing (HiTeMP-3), will be held at the National Wine Centre and online from September 26 鈥 28, 2022.
