Waste Gas-to-Ethanol Facility to be Constructed in Taiwan

China Steel Corporation will invest on a commercial ethanol facility in Taiwan that will recycle metal production gases into biofuel.
Dr. Jo-Chi Tsou, Chairman of China Steel Corporation said the process will help "by recycling carbon from the steel mill and enabling green growth through production of useful everyday products". LanzaTech's gas fermentation process uses microbes to capture and reuse carbon rich waste gases.
The facility is planned for construction in late 2015, with the intention to scale up in a few years. The investment followed a demonstration of the carbon recycling platform at the White Biotech (WBT) Demonstration Plant in Kaohsiung, using steel mill off gases for ethanol production.
WBT is a joint venture between China Steel Corporation and LCY Chemical Corporation, as part of a Green Energy Alliance with LanzaTech.
