What We Do
It’s not a debate. There’s no two sides.
A post-pollution world is inevitable.
Humans will either be part of it, or the planet will go on without us.
In other words, it’s defossilize or die. But where others see a dire choice, LanzaTech sees a trillion-dollar opportunity. The good news is after 15 years, north of a thousand patents, and millions of hours of pioneering scientific inquiry, LanzaTech has invented a technology big enough to meet the moment. One that transforms pollution into profit, and ensures that humans continue to prosper far into the post-pollution future.
The science is state-of-the-art, but the idea is simple. We use nature to heal nature. First we capture carbon emissions. Then we feed them into bioreactors where trillions of carbon-hungry microbes go to work. These tiny dynamos eat the pollution and output valuable raw material commodities. Pure enough to be resold, repurposed, recycled, renewed, re-everythinged — from sustainable jet fuel to yoga pants.
It’s a commercial scale solution that’s ready for market today. In a crowded sector filled with speculation but short on results, our plug-and-play platform is already making our customers money. Turns out science and business makes one helluva team.
Waste carbon pollution is humanity’s biggest threat.
LanzaTech is turning it into an opportunity. Reducing emissions and making money for our customers — today.
Let's transform our tired Lose-Lose climate debate into a Win-Win proposition. One that helps companies grow their revenue while helping the planet reach a post-pollution reality.
Why Work With Us
Our tech converts waste carbon into products, reduces emissions & creates a circular carbon economy. Joining LanzaTech means being part of a team making a meaningful impact on the planet. Our culture values diversity, creativity, & collaboration, offering a supportive environment for personal & professional growth towards a sustainable future.
