Sean Simpson – Sean is the Co-Founder and Technical Advisor of LanzaTech. Since its inception in 2005, Sean has led the company to secure numerous rounds of venture capital funding, significant commercial and technical partnerships with leading global organizations, and government R&D grants. Sean’s leadership has encouraged collaboration between biologists, fermentation specialists, process and design engineers and business development teams to develop the technology and the company to become a global leader in gas fermentation.
LanzaTech’s carbon recycling technology is like retrofitting a brewery onto an emission source like a steel mill or a landfill site, but instead of using sugars and yeast to make beer, pollution is converted by bacteria to fuels and chemicals. Life cycle analysis (LCA) is essential for understanding the environmental benefits of LanzaTech’s technology. LanzaTech has developed in-house LCA expertise and engages in collaborations to understand and develop recommendations for methodological approaches which vary by region. We regularly work with specialists around the world including: The European Commission (EC)/ Joint Research Council (JRC), Roundtable for Sustainable Biomaterials (RSB), International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), International Sustainability & Carbon Certification (ISCC), California Air Resources Board (CARB), Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), Michigan Technological University (MTU), Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and others.
