ArcelorMittal, LanzaTech launch €150M venture to turn carbon gas into bioethanol

ArcelorMittal and LanzaTech Inc. said June 11 that they kicked off a €150 million project to convert carbon gas into bioethanol.

The steelmaker started construction of new premises at its site in Ghent, Belgium, which will contain an installation to turn carbon-containing gas from its blast furnaces into bioethanol.

The technology, licensed by LanzaTech, uses microbes that feed on carbon monoxide to produce bioethanol. Annual production of bioethanol at Ghent is expected to reach about 80 million liters, which will be used as transport fuel or potentially in the production of plastics.

Commissioning and first production is expected by mid-2020.
