Each year, I aim to share innovative news that reporters would include in their year-end summary of the innovators and trailblazers of the past year. There were two such stories last week about LanzaTech. Fermata Energy was also quoted in Bloomberg this past week, and the media continued to share past announcements from our clients over the past few weeks. Here are the other clips from this past week-
This week at North Coast Strategies, LanzaTech was also featured this week on CBS, ABC, and Marketwatch for being the only U.S. company named in HRH Prince William’s Earthshot Award. Although they did not win that award, they did win the prestigious Energy Globe Award. This week they also announced their latest installation in Belgium at an event that the Prime Minister of Belgium participated in with ArcelorMittal. Fermata Energy was featured in a podcast this week and in a great article in Green Car Reports. They also launched their new website this week and unveiled their new brand. We also joined representatives from Fermata Energy and LanzaTech, who spoke at the Energy Forum at the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan.
This week we returned to the studio with television interviews at the FOX and ABC affiliates in Detroit to promote the Guild of Art and Artisans’ final art fair of the season. Building on the success of The Earthshot Prize announcement, we also secured additional coverage in The Chicago Tribune and AXIOS. We had a press event in Germany with BASF, and we announced a $3.5M investment in our client, Wave Engine Corp., a next-gen high-performance propulsion sys developer. & aerial vehicles in their second seed round of investment.
Last week, Breakthrough Energy Ventures, founded by Bill Gates, announced its first Catalyst Project Funding in $50 Million Grant to our client LanzaJet. You can read about it in this Bloomberg article which also appeared in Fortune. A scientist from one of our client’s labs, LanzaTech, appeared on a children’s podcast busting myths about gas and we appreciate CNBC’s Julia Boorstin continuing to use Dr. Jennifer Holmgren, CEO of LanzaTech as inspiration for other leaders. Below you can find more clips from this past week.
t is very rare that a publication would withdraw an entire story but this week Reuters did from a story they published involving one of our clients. They even published their withdrawal. But hundreds of publications syndicated Reuters content and in a digital era, their story spread. But searching for that story online you can only find a few of them. This week, our clients at LanzaTech and LanzaJet spoke at events during the Clean Energy Ministerial. And The White House announced a road map for their sustainable aviation fuel challenge, which we distributed a news release about.
From launching a running shoe with On and LanzaTech to advancing discussions on the power of vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technology for EVs at the North American International Auto Show to being able to see the President of the United States and Secretary of Transportation, along with our client LanzaTech attending the White House Summit on Biotechnology & Biomanufacturing for the American Bioeconomy, and getting ready for the Common Ground Birmingham Street Art Fair this past weekend, it has been a great week but a busy week for us. Here are some of the latest headlines clients are making worldwide.
Last week, Vogue Brazil and Business Insider Espana shared news about Zara’s recent dress launch made from carbon emissions. There was also news about additional research by LanzaTech and one of our partners at Fermata Energy. We also want to wish our client, the Guild of Artists and Artisans good luck this week as thousands of artists set up shop in Ann Arbor for The Ann Arbor Art Fair. Here are a few more media clips from the past week.
As the year winds down our clients continue to have news to share, and this week was a big one. This week Zara released a series of dresses made from recycled carbon emissions made in partnership with LanzaTech. This is the first time you can wear something made from pollution. Congratulations to both partners. This announcement received global media attention in Fast Company, Business Insider, Marketwatch, Harper’s Bazaar, GreenBiz, BusinessGreen, Fashion United, Just Style, Sustainable Brands, and others.
With COP26 in Glasgow to two product launches in Switzerland and Sweden, it has been another busy week. We are also preparing locally for the final art fair of the season in Michigan and Ford Motor Company announced its collaboration with Fermata Energy and New Lab. From Bloomberg to Emirate Business, here is a sample of the media from this week.
Swiss sports brand On is leading a supply chain coalition to reshape carbon waste into running shoes, cooperating with LanzaTech and Borealis. Today, On is announcing CleanCloud™ – a new high-performance foam for running shoes, created using carbon emissions as a raw material. With CleanCloud™, On is making carbon emissions the starting point for creating EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) foam – a material they are engineering into high-performance cushioning for running shoes. There’s also the potential to use it in other parts of the shoe, and other products, in the future. You can find a copy of the news release online here. This announcement with On follows LanzaTech’s launch earlier this week over a collaboration with SAS, Vattenfall, and Shell to produce sustainable aviation fuel in Sweden. Last week, a product launch with Unilever on a new dish soap now available in stores made from waste emissions. As world leaders continue to negotiate about addressing our climate crises, companies like On, LanzaTech, and Borealis are working to avoid a climate catastrophe in changing the supply chain and getting new sustainable products into the marketplace.
