Welcome to the Post Pollution Future with LanzaTech About us: LanzaTech was founded on the belief that we have enough carbon above ground to make everything we need. Through our biorecycling technology, we transform carbon into sustainable raw materials, replacing the need for virgin fossil carbon in consumer goods and transport fuels. We are building the circular carbon economy.
Our impact: To date, we have abated over 300,000 tons of carbon dioxide (the equivalent amount of CO2 needed to charge 30,346,895,586 smartphones) across four commercial plants, and will soon have the capacity to abate 500,000 tons annually with our additional future plants.
With dozens more projects in the pipeline, we are helping global companies like Zara, H&M Move, Coty, and On use recycled carbon to make sustainable consumer products from carbon that would otherwise be emitted from heavy industries such as steel making.
Our team:We're a diverse, woman-led company, with over 400 team members and counting.We're distributed around the globe—from Chicago and Europe to India, China, & New Zealand.Named one of TIME Magazine's 100 Most Influential Companies of 2023, our team is taking on climate change one ton of carbon at a time.
