LanzaTech

LanzaTech is a carbon capture and transformation company founded in 2005 by Dr. Sean Simpson and Dr. Richard Forster. The company focuses on converting industrial waste carbon emissions, such as carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, into valuable products like sustainable fuels, fabrics, packaging, and chemicals. Using engineered microbes, LanzaTech's technology ferments waste gases from industries, including steel mills, to produce biofuels and chemicals without impacting food supply or biodiversity. The company operates industrial-scale bioreactors where microbes efficiently convert waste gases into ethanol and other chemicals. LanzaTech serves a diverse range of customers in heavy industries, helping them reduce their carbon footprint and support sustainability goals. With headquarters in Chicago and offices in Shanghai and India, LanzaTech has established a global presence, partnering with various countries to deploy its technology.
