LanzaTech Global, Inc. is a carbon recycling company that specializes in capturing industrial emissions and converting them into sustainable fuels and chemicals through a proprietary gas fermentation process. By utilizing metal- and microbe-catalyzed conversion technologies, the company transforms waste carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide streams from steel mills, refineries, and other industrial sites into ethanol, jet fuel precursors, and other commodity chemicals. These products can be used as drop-in replacements for petrochemicals, helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and advance circular economy initiatives.
Founded in 2005 and headquartered in Skokie, Illinois, LanzaTech has developed its platform through research collaborations and commercial demonstration plants. The company’s first commercial-scale facility began operations in China in 2018, producing bio-ethanol from steel mill waste gases. Since then, LanzaTech has expanded its presence with a full-scale commercial plant in Belgium and strategic partnerships in India, South Korea, and other markets. This global footprint underscores the scalability of its technology across diverse industrial applications and regulatory environments.
The leadership team is led by CEO Dr. Jennifer Holmgren, who brings extensive experience in industrial biotechnology and clean energy. Under her guidance, LanzaTech has secured financing, forged partnerships with major industry players, and completed its transition to a publicly traded company listed on the NASDAQ under the ticker LNZA. The company continues to invest in research and development to broaden its product slate—ranging from sustainable aviation fuel to high-value chemicals—and to optimize its processes for new feedstocks and markets.
