Company profile

LanzaTech company profile

LanzaTech offers a technology platform that transforms industrial waste gases such as carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide into valuable chemical intermediates and fuels through microbial gas fermentation. The company’s process captures emissions from heavy-industry sources and uses specialized microbes to convert those gases into ethanol, which is then refined into materials such as monoethylene glycol for packaging, solvents, proteins, and sustainable aviation fuels. LanzaTech integrates its bioconversion system with industrial emitters, enabling the reuse of carbon streams that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere, and supplies downstream manufacturers in sectors including packaging, textiles, and aviation with fossil-alternative feedstocks.
