Its proprietary tech converts [captured carbon](https://time.com/6213466/carbon-removal-technology-investors-bet-big/) from waste streams—including from industrial sites and agricultural residues—into material used to produce Bridgestone and Sumitomo tires, Coty fragrances, a Nivea moisturizer, and a line of Zara party dresses, among other products. “LanzaTech is revolutionizing the way we think about carbon,” says CEO Jennifer Holmgren, turning it into a “resource, not a liability.” In 2022 the company was named the only American Earthshot Prize finalist and completed its fourth carbon-capture facility, which will reduce a Belgian steel mill’s emissions by 3.9 million tonnes. _A weekly newsletter featuring conversations with the world’s top CEOs, managers, and founders._ [_Join the Leadership Brief_](https://cloud.newsletters.time.com/signup?nln=leadership&source=100companies).
