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.

**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 others use recycled carbon to make sustainable consumer products from carbon that would otherwise be emitted from heavy industries such as steel making.
