Navigating the transition from startup to public company requires a completely different mindset. In the latest episode of The Chemical Show, Victoria (King) Meyer speaks with Jennifer Holmgren about her 15-year journey leading LanzaTech from early-stage innovation to Nasdaq-listed success. Jennifer shares her advice for professionals in the chemical industry today and those just entering it, "Don't go down a road that isn't one that you can make your own." Jennifer's authentic guidance emphasizes finding work that genuinely excites you rather than following predetermined career paths. "We work so many hours a day," she explains, "if you do it because you love what you do, if you love it because you love the people you work with, if you want to get up in the morning and do it again," that's what creates a fulfilling career.

"Carbon isn't a waste product - it's precious material we should be using more efficiently." This perspective guides Jennifer Holmgren as she leads LanzaTech's mission to transform emissions into valuable products.  In the latest episode of The Chemical Show, Victoria Meyer speaks with Jennifer about LanzaTech's journey from using steel mill emissions to create ethanol to their expanded vision of converting various carbon sources into an intermediate that becomes the building block for aviation fuel, polyester, and more.  Jennifer highlights the parallel between energy efficiency and carbon efficiency: "What's carbon efficiency? It's the same thing. You make more from less." This approach not only addresses sustainability concerns but creates economic advantages by maximizing feedstock utilization.  Listen to the full episode to hear more about LanzaTech's innovative carbon recycling technology: https://lnkd.in/gknpxVNd  #TheChemicalShow #CarbonEfficiency #ChemicalIndustry #Sustainability #Innovation 

"True innovation happens in the chaos, not by waiting for perfect solutions." In The Chemical Show's latest episode, host Victoria (King) Meyer speaks with Jennifer Holmgren, CEO of LanzaTech, about turning carbon waste into valuable resources. "If we fall in love with notions, we actually stop ourselves from making progress," Jennifer explains, warning against the fixation on finding "home run" technologies. Instead of chasing magical solutions, LanzaTech has methodically developed its platform to transform various emissions into ethanol and beyond. Jennifer compares their journey to solar energy, which was perpetually "ten years away" until suddenly becoming universal. Her practical approach to innovation has taken LanzaTech from startup to Nasdaq-listed success, proving that sustainable progress comes from persistent development, not falling in love with a single approach.
