Engineered Microbial Platforms for Continuous Biomanufacturing from Industrial CO₂ Streams
T2024-342
Transforming industrial waste gases into valuable biofuels and chemicals.
Overview:
Industrial sectors such as cement and petroleum refining are under increasing pressure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while maintaining profitability. Our innovative technology leverages engineered strains of Cupriavidus necator to directly convert industrial waste carbon dioxide (CO₂) into 1-butanol-a high-value chemical and biofuel. This breakthrough not only addresses stringent emissions regulations but also unlocks a new revenue stream by transforming waste into valuable products.
The Opportunity:
By harnessing metabolically-optimized bacteria, this platform enables the efficient transformation of CO₂ and H₂ into 1-butanol. Unlike traditional processes, our solution bypasses the need for costly CO₂ purification and operates reliably even in the presence of typical industrial gas impurities. The result: a scalable, sustainable, and economically attractive route to 1-butanol, supporting both decarbonization and business growth.
Key Advantages:
- Direct Use of Industrial Waste Gases: Streamlines operations by eliminating the need for expensive CO₂ purification, reducing both capital and operational costs.
- Robust Performance in Real-World Conditions: Engineered strains thrive in industrial gas environments, maintaining high yields despite the presence of inhibitory compounds.
- Continuous, High-Density Production: Unlike photosynthetic systems, Cupriavidus necator achieves high cell densities and productivity without reliance on light, enabling efficient, year-round operation.
- Flexible Product Portfolio: Beyond 1-butanol, this technology can be tailored to produce other high-value chemicals, including bioplastics such as polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), expanding your market opportunities.
Transform Your Industry:
Adopting this technology may revolutionize the way industries manage CO2 emissions, turning a waste product into a valuable resource. By integrating this innovative solution, companies can significantly reduce their carbon footprint while producing high-demand biofuels and chemicals, aligning with global sustainability goals.
