LenzaTech
Wholly-owned microbes that convert carbon rich wastes into valuable fuel and chemical products.
LanzaTech is revolutionizing the way the world thinks about carbon. By turning waste carbon from a liability to an opportunity, we are accelerating the reduction of harmful emissions while creating new economic opportunities for companies, communities and countries around the world.
At the heart of the LanzaTech process is our patented, wholly-owned microbes that convert carbon rich wastes and residues produced by industries such as steel manufacturing, oil refining and chemical production, as well as gases generated by gasification of forestry and agricultural residues, municipal waste into valuable fuel and chemical products through a process of gas fermentation.
These waste resources don’t compete with land, food or water providing the world with a wholly sustainable alternative energy solution.
