LanzaTech eyeing two possible additional spin-offs

In New Zealand, TechCrunch reports that LanzaTech’s CEO expects to spin out two additional businesses in the future following the June spin-off of its technology to produce aviation biofuel. One of the future spin-offs is likely to focus on synthetic biology to produce biomaterials for automobile interiors, as an example. The other would look to use its “skinny bacteria” that is a byproduct of its current technology producing ethanol from waste gases to sell the protein that makes up most of the bacteria. No timeline was announced for either spin-off, however.
