LanzaTech is a carbon recycling and biotechnology company focused on converting carbon-rich waste streams into valuable chemicals and fuels. The company develops and licenses gas fermentation processes that use proprietary microbes to transform industrial off-gases, syngas, and biogenic feedstocks into ethanol and other chemical intermediates.
LanzaTech works with heavy industry, waste management, and energy partners to integrate its technology at or near emission sources, enabling on-site production and reducing reliance on virgin fossil feedstocks. Its ethanol can be used directly in chemical and fuel markets or upgraded via partner pathways—such as Alcohol-to-Jet—to produce sustainable aviation fuel and other downstream products for polymers, surfactants, and solvents.
The company’s business model spans technology licensing, project development with industrial partners, and product offtake arrangements. LanzaTech also applies synthetic biology to broaden its product portfolio, targeting a range of carbon-based molecules from recycled carbon.
