We make biobased materials using renewable, low-carbon feedstocks.
Our programmable microbes turn ethanol and greenhouse gases into net-zero materials.
It's time to change how we make things.
Consumers have spoken: They want sustainable bioproducts with reduced environmental impact across their lifecycle, and at an affordable cost.
The good news? Alternatives to petrochemicals in industrial manufacturing are becoming available and scaling quickly..
The Industrial Microbes and ABPDU teams collaborating on a recent scale-up project.
Scaling up biobased solutions
iMicrobes has engineered programmable microbes that turn renewable feedstocks like ethanol and methane, into drop-in chemicals and materials.
We have successfully scaled our processes to produce low-carbon footprint acrylic acid precursors working closely with a wide range of partners.
Like brewing whiskey
Fermentation, heating, and distillation. The high-tech version of whiskey brewing, powered by an advanced engineered microbe.
We shrink costs & emissions
By preventing biomethane from directly entering the atmosphere and using it as a feedstock, we can achieve 30% to 45% cost reduction and net zero emission.
High performance materials
Using synthetic biology, we program our microorganisms to use a wide range of renewable feedstocks instead of petroleum.
The outcome is an identical molecule that can be used today with net-zero or negative emissions.
