It’s not a debate. There are no two sides. A post-pollution world is inevitable. Humans will either be part of it, or the planet will go on without us. In other words, it’s defossilize or die. But where others see a dire choice, LanzaTech sees a trillion-dollar opportunity. The good news is after 15 years, north of a thousand patents, and millions of hours of pioneering scientific inquiry, LanzaTech has invented a technology big enough to meet the moment. One that transforms pollution into profit and ensures that humans continue to prosper far into the post-pollution future. The science is state-of-the-art, but the idea is simple. We use nature to heal nature. First, we capture carbon emissions. Then we feed them into bioreactors where trillions of carbon-hungry microbes go to work. These tiny dynamos eat the pollution and output valuable raw material commodities. Pure enough to be resold, repurposed, recycled, renewed, re-everythinged — from sustainable jet fuel to yoga pants.
