LanzaTech and Twelve partner to transform CO2 emissions into polypropylene


Type of post: NEWS IN BRIEF.

Biotechnology company LanzaTech and carbon transformation company Twelve have partnered to transform CO2 emissions into polypropylene.

Twelve’s carbon transformation technology converts CO2 into materials that are traditionally made from fossil fuels. The company helps brands eliminate emissions by replacing the petrochemicals in their products and supply chains with CO2Made® carbon negative chemicals and materials, as well as carbon neutral fuels.

LanzaTech’s carbon recycling Pollution To Products™ technology uses nature-based solutions to produce ethanol and other materials from waste carbon sources. The partnership will bring together the two platform technologies to enable additional product development from CO2 streams, representing just one of many pathways to scale carbon transformation solutions.

To pursue the partnership, Twelve and LanzaTech have been awarded a 200 k$ grant from Impact Squared, a 1.1 M$ fund that was designed and launched by British universal bank Barclays and Unreasonable, a catalytic platform for entrepreneurs tackling some of the world’s most pressing challenges. With the Impact Squared grant, Twelve and LanzaTech are taking a collaborative approach to reducing the fossil fuel impact of essential products.
