LanzaTech just pulled in 20 million through a direct offering. They do carbon fermentation for SAF and chemicals. It is a small raise relative to the scale of industrial carbon capture, but keeps the lights on.
The amount is fine, but the risk section in the release is the real story. They mention needing substantial additional financing just to fund operations. Does anyone know their current burn rate or when they actually hit profitability?
Industrial carbon reuse is a tough game. The CAPEX for these fermentation plants is huge. I wonder how much of this 20 million is going toward actual hardware versus just administrative overhead.
The viability of this tech depends heavily on the availability of government incentives for low carbon fuels. If the subsidy design for SAF shifts, these capital raises become much more urgent and expensive.
