LanzaTech: Funding, Investors & Team (Oct 2026)
LanzaTech is transforming the current global carbon crisis into an opportunity to use as a feedstock, potentially replacing 30% of the current crude oil consumption and decreasing global CO2 emissions by 10%. By repurposing carbon from industrial emissions, syngas produced from various biomass sources, and reformed biogas, LanzaTech can decrease emissions and create new products for a circular economy centered around carbon. Their technology essentially involves adding a brewery-like setup to emission sources such as steel mills or landfill sites, where bacteria convert pollution into fuels and chemicals instead of beer. In the future, it is possible to have planes powered by recycled greenhouse gas emissions and yoga pants made from pollution from industrial sources, thanks to LanzaTech's innovative technology.
LanzaTech has raised $899M across 10 funding rounds on record, the most recent an undisclosed round of $20.0M announced in May 2026.
That round is above the $15M median round size for Energy companies tracked on FundedIQ over the last two years.

About FundedIQ's LanzaTech Funding Data
FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.
Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for LanzaTech is left off this page rather than filled in.
