Summary
Skokie-based LanzaTech Global, Inc. filed a notice with the Illinois Department of Commerce on May 12, 2025, stating it plans a mass layoff of 44 of its 383 employees with the first layoff date scheduled for June 1, 2025. The company cited rising operating expenses and falling revenues in SEC filings and plans to halve its rented Skokie facility space as part of a downsizing and pivot from R&D to commercial deployment.

Company representatives framed the cuts as a transition to focus on commercializing proven technology amid demand for sustainable aviation fuel in regulated markets.
