Sustainable Biomanufacturing Technology Platform

OBJECTIVE:

To establish a Sustainable Biomanufacturing Technology Platform (SBTP) for high efficiency conversion of low-cost alternative feedstock into commercially in-demand compounds. 

  • Alternative feedstock
  • Feedstock flexibility
  • 40% ↓ in feedstock cost

  • Independent from metabolism
  • Efficient growth and bioconversion
  • 40% ↓ in OPEX
  • 80% ↓ in CAPEX
  • 60% ↓ in greenhouse gas emissions

  • Platform extendable to other multi-carbon bio-based compounds
  • Partner with demonstrated industrial scale production
  • Ready off-takers (Nippon Paint Group)
