LanzaTech Global Inc. announced successful operational results at its municipal solid waste $(MSW)$ to ethanol pilot plant in Kuji City, Iwate, Japan. The facility, operated in partnership with SEKISUI CHEMICAL CO., LTD., achieved ethanol yields exceeding guaranteed performance for over 14 consecutive days at steady state. The plant, which is a 1/10th commercial scale facility with a production capacity of approximately 400 tons of ethanol per year, has been operating for nearly four years since mechanical completion in April 2022. LanzaTech’s fermentation technology demonstrated robust performance on complex syngas streams with carbon monoxide and hydrogen contents as low as 40%, and processed highly inhomogeneous, unsorted mixed non-recyclable waste streams under varying feedstock conditions. The company stated that these results support the adaptability of its technology to diverse waste profiles.
