LanzaTech Global has maintained a positive brand reputation in the past year, marked by recognitions such as inclusion on Fast Company's "Most Innovative Companies" list and TIME's "Most Influential Companies" list in 2023. In 2024, CEO Dr. Jennifer Holmgren was recognized on TIME's Inaugural "TIME100 Climate List."
