Amasosiyete y’imideli nayo arimo gukina n’ibinyabuzima by’ubukorikori, aho LanzaTech yashyize ahagaragara ikanzu y’umukara ikozwe muri CO₂.

Ntabwo ari ugukabya kuvuga ko ibinyabuzima by’ubukorikori byageze mu bice byose by’ubuzima bw’abantu. ZymoChem igiye gukora ikoti rya ski rikozwe mu isukari. Vuba aha, ikirango cy’imyenda y’imideli cyashyize ahagaragara ikanzu ikozwe muri CO₂. Fang ni LanzaTech, ikigo cy’ingenzi cy’ibinyabuzima by’ubukorikori. Birumvikana ko ubu bufatanye atari bwo bwa mbere "buhuza" na LanzaTech. Mu ntangiriro za Nyakanga uyu mwaka, LanzaTech yakoranye na sosiyete y’imyenda ya siporo Lululemon maze ikora ubudodo n’imyenda bya mbere ku isi bikoresha imyenda ikoreshwa mu kongera gusohora karubone.

LanzaTech ni ikigo cy’ikoranabuhanga rya biology gikorera muri Illinois, muri Amerika. Ishingiye ku bumenyi bwayo mu bijyanye n’ibinyabuzima bikozwe mu buryo bwa sintetike, amakuru ajyanye n’ibinyabuzima, ubwenge bw’ubukorano n’ubumenyi bw’imashini, ndetse n’ubw’ubuhanga, LanzaTech yateguye urubuga rwo kugarura karuboni (Pollution To Products™), gukora ethanol n’ibindi bikoresho biva mu myanda ya karuboni.

“Dukoresheje ibinyabuzima, dushobora gukoresha imbaraga z’ibidukikije kugira ngo dukemure ikibazo kigezweho cyane. CO₂ nyinshi mu kirere byatumye isi yacu ijya mu bihe bikomeye byo kubika umutungo kamere w’ibisigazwa by’ibinyabuzima mu butaka no gutanga ikirere n’ibidukikije bitekanye ku bantu bose,” ibi byavuzwe na Jennifer Holmgren.

LanzaTech yakoresheje ikoranabuhanga rya biology mu buhanga kugira ngo ihindure Clostridium iva mu nda y'inkwavu kugira ngo ikore ethanol binyuze muri mikorobe na CO₂ gaze isohora umwuka, hanyuma ikorwamo imigozi ya polyester, amaherezo ikoreshwa mu gukora imyenda itandukanye ya nylon. Igitangaje ni uko iyo iyo myenda ya nylon itawe, ishobora kongera gukoreshwa, igashyuha kandi igahinduka, bigagabanya neza karubone.

Mu by’ukuri, ihame rya tekiniki rya LanzaTech mu by’ukuri ni iry’ikinyejana cya gatatu cyo gukora ibikomoka ku binyabuzima, hakoreshejwe udukoko duto kugira ngo duhindure imyanda imwe n’imwe ihumanya ikirere mo ibicanwa n’ibinyabutabire by’ingirakamaro, nko gukoresha CO2 mu kirere n’ingufu zishobora kuvugururwa (ingufu z’urumuri, ingufu z’umuyaga, ibinyabutabire bidafite umwimerere mu mazi yanduye, nibindi) mu gukora ibikomoka ku binyabuzima.

Kubera ikoranabuhanga ryayo ridasanzwe rishobora guhindura CO₂ ibicuruzwa bifite agaciro gakomeye, LanzaTech yatsindiye inkunga y’ibigo by’ishoramari byo mu bihugu byinshi. Bivugwa ko amafaranga LanzaTech itera inkunga ubu arenga miliyoni 280 z’amadolari y’Amerika. Abashoramari barimo China International Capital Corporation (CICC), China International Investment Corporation (CITIC), Sinopec Capital, Qiming Venture Partners, Petronas, Primetals, Novo Holdings, Khosla Ventures, K1W1, Suncor, n’abandi.

Ni ngombwa kuvuga ko muri Mata uyu mwaka, Sinopec Group Capital Co., Ltd. yashoye imari muri Langze Technology kugira ngo ifashe Sinopec kugera ku ntego yayo ya "karubone ebyiri". Bivugwa ko Lanza Technology (Beijing Shougang Lanze New Energy Technology Co., Ltd.) ari sosiyete ihuriweho yashinzwe na LanzaTech Hong Kong Co., Ltd. na China Shougang Group mu 2011. Ikoresha impinduka za mikorobe kugira ngo ifate neza imyanda ya karubone mu nganda kandi ikore ingufu zisukuye zishobora kongera gukoreshwa, imiti y’agaciro gakomeye, nibindi.

Muri Gicurasi uyu mwaka, umushinga wa mbere ku isi wo gukwirakwiza lisansi ukoresheje imyuka ikomoka ku nganda ya ferroalloy washinzwe i Ningxia, uterwa inkunga na sosiyete ihuriweho na Beijing Shougang Langze New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. Toni 5.000 z'ibiryo bishobora kugabanya imyuka ya CO₂ ho toni 180.000 ku mwaka.

Mu ntangiriro za 2018, LanzaTech yafatanyije na Shougang Group Jingtang Iron and Steel Works gushinga uruganda rwa mbere ku isi rukora ethanol ihumanya ikirere, bakoresheje Clostridium mu gushyiramo ethanol ihumanya ikirere ku bikomoka ku mavuta akoreshwa mu bucuruzi, nibindi, aho buri mwaka hatangwa toni 46.000 za ethanol ihumanya ikirere, protein Feed toni 5.000, uru ruganda rwakoraga toni zirenga 30.000 za ethanol mu mwaka wa mbere rukora, bingana no kubika toni zirenga 120.000 za CO₂ mu kirere.
