LanzaTech, a competitor in this space, just made a big announcement that they've had excellent results with a scaled up bioreactor that "eats" co2 and makes acetone or isopropanol. They claim a 120L bioreactor (compared to the 1.5L mentioned here) and high yield, both of which they say is an indication they are ready for large scale.

Lanzatech are an amazing company. They are pioneers/trailblazers in the field and I have a lot of respect for them. They have demonstrated that they gas fermentation works at scale. There are advantages and disadvantages to their approach, like all technologies / solutions.
