We caught up with Dr. Ryan Tappel, Science Strategy Advisor at LanzaTech, to learn more about his work leading research programs in gas fermentation technology and developing solutions for climate change.
Dr. Tappel shares how LanzaTech captures waste carbon emissions from industrial facilities and converts them into valuable products like ethanol, plastics, and jet fuel using anaerobic bacteria originally isolated from rabbit droppings.
He emphasizes the importance of connecting with professors, pursuing internships, and staying aligned with your values.
