We believe synthetic biology is the key to shifting away from petrochemicals to power the circular economy.
8 years of development
to exceed commercial rate
We engineered advanced MMO enzymes that catalyze the direct oxidation of methane to methanol at standard temperature and pressure.
No other catalyst can perform this reaction.
After 4 generations, we have reached 150% of commercial rate
First products include:
Acrylic acid
Methacrylates
Acrylonitrile
Remake everything
A simple process – like brewing whiskey
Example: Make net-zero acrylic from methane
Power the circular economy
Be a solution for a better future
