LONDON, Nov. 28, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Sustainable Markets Initiative today announced that LanzaTech Global (Nasdaq: LNZA), the carbon recycling company transforming waste carbon into sustainable raw materials, has been awarded its 2023 Terra Carta Seal. The Seal recognises global companies which are actively leading the charge to create a climate and Nature-positive future.

The Terra Carta Seal is awarded to companies which have demonstrated the success of a high-impact, large scale company-wide project, initiative or strategy which aligns with one or more of the Sustainable Markets Initiative’s ten Terra Carta Articles. The Articles underpin the Terra Carta, the Sustainable Markets Initiative’s guiding mandate which provides a roadmap and framework to accelerate the transition to an ambitious and sustainable future, placing Nature, People and Planet at the heart of global value creation.

LanzaTech takes carbon capture a step further by transforming it into something valuable and useful at scale that directly replaces virgin fossil carbon in consumer goods, chemicals, and fuels. Using its Biorecycling technology process, LanzaTech captures and processes multiple forms of waste carbon before they can enter the atmosphere and cause harm. Emissions sources like steel mills and landfill sites can attach LanzaTech’s bioreactors to their facilities, which then act like a brewery. Instead of using yeast to convert sugar into beer, proprietary microbes convert carbon-rich gases into essential raw materials like ethanol, a primary ingredient in fuels and a range of everyday consumer goods. This process allows LanzaTech to create value from waste and enable a circular carbon economy. Its Biorecycling technology is operating at six commercial plants which collectively have the capacity to abate 500,000 tonnes of CO₂ per year.
