LanzaTech Global, Inc. LNZA

Company Overview

LanzaTech Global, Inc. is a carbon recycling and biotechnology company focused on converting industrial waste carbon and other low-value carbon sources into fuels, chemicals, materials, and protein products through gas fermentation and related bioprocessing technologies. The company operates primarily within the industrial biotechnology, clean energy, sustainable chemicals, and carbon management sectors. Its core technology platform uses proprietary microbes to transform carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen-rich gases from industrial processes into ethanol and other chemical intermediates that can be further processed into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), packaging materials, textiles, and specialty chemicals.

The company’s primary revenue drivers include technology licensing, engineering and consulting services, collaborative research and development arrangements, and commercialization partnerships tied to industrial deployment projects. LanzaTech serves customers and partners across the steel, refining, chemicals, aviation, and consumer goods industries. The company has positioned itself as a carbon utilization platform with strategic advantages tied to proprietary microbial strains, integrated process technology, and established relationships with major industrial operators and global brands. Founded in New Zealand in 2005 by scientist Sean Simpson and later headquartered in the United States, LanzaTech evolved from an early-stage synthetic biology venture into a publicly traded climate technology company following its business combination with a special purpose acquisition company in 2023.
