Gail has partnered with Lanzatech to explore the establishment of a CO2 capture and conversion pilot project in India. With this project, the companies aim to develop everything from fuels, packaging to clothing from biorecycled material instead of virgin fossil fuel.

Chicago/USA – Gail (India), India’s largest natural gas company and Lanzatech Global have entered into a partnership to explore innovative technology solutions that advance Gail’s Net Zero 2040 goals and have the potential to support wider decarbonization applications globally.

Gail and Lanzatech will explore setting up a pilot scale CO2 capture and conversion project that has the potential to be a role model for converting CO2 into useful materials instead of emitting it into the atmosphere. Combining Lanzatech’s carbon capture and utilization technology with Gail’s renewable H2 and CO2 gas streams, the project will enable resource utilization where the building blocks of everyday consumer goods, from fuels to packaging and clothing, can be made from biorecycled material instead of virgin fossil fuel.

“The possibilities coming out of this collaboration with Lanzatech are very promising and significant to improving our carbon footprint,” said Sandeep Kumar Gupta, Chairman and Managing Director of Gail. “Using Lanzatech’s cutting-edge technology will enhance our environmental stewardship and open up new avenues for driving sustainability across our operations.”

“Waste CO2 can be used to make the things we need,” said Dr. Jennifer Holmgren, Lanzatech’s CEO and Board Member of the US-India Strategic Partnership. “By combining Lanzatech’s expertise in carbon recycling with Gail’s commitment to reducing emissions and implementing renewable projects, this project has the potential to turn CO2 from an environmental liability to a value-added product. CO2 can be the raw material of the future, enabling fossil carbon to stay underground. We look forward to launching our collaboration with Gail to make this vision a reality.”

Lanzatech’s biorecycling technology works like a brewery: proprietary bacteria consume carbon-rich pollution from industrial facilities and convert it into Carbonsmart chemicals to create rubber, plastics, synthetic fibers, and fuels. These materials form the building blocks for consumer products such as clothing, laundry detergent, and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). Lanzatech’s technology platform is designing a future where consumers can continue using indispensable products, they use every day without depending on materials derived from virgin fossil fuels.

Through this collaboration, Gail and Lanzatech aim to set new benchmarks in carbon utilization, providing a compelling model for utilization of CO2 gas streams that would otherwise be emitted as greenhouse gases. The partnership between Gail and Lanzatech Global is a milestone achievement in Gail’s broader energy transition to reach Net Zero and their pursuit of sustainable development.
