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 275,000 tons of carbon dioxide (the equivalent amount of CO2 needed to charge 30,346,895,586 smartphones) across three commercial plants, and will soon have the capacity to abate 500,000 tons annually when three more plants launch in 2023.

　　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.

　　We are a woman-led company on a mission to recycle the world’s carbon supply, and we want you to join us!
