Another challenge is—assuming successful large scale commercialization is possible—what to do with all the resulting acetic acid. Accordingly, LanzaTech has begun look at the industrial conversion of acetic acid/acetate to lipids, and has demonstrated this. that conversion wouldn’t actually happen in a LanzaTech bioreactor.
