BESPOKE BACTERIA FOR BIOMANUFACTURING

MicroByre domesticates feral bacteria, quickly coaxing them to engineer-ability and establishing them as industrial scale manufacturers of biofuels, antibiotics, and commodity chemicals.

Fellow: Sarah Richardson

SUSTAINABLE SEPARATIONS

Our materials enable a radical reduction in cost and energy consumption for removing carbon dioxide and other impurities from high-volume commodity chemicals.

Fellow: Tom McDonald

RECYCLING CARBON DIOXIDE

Opus 12’s technology enables an artificial carbon cycle that sequesters carbon dioxide in the form of commodity chemicals and carbon-neutral fuels.

Fellows: Etosha Cave and Kendra Kuhl

MEMBRANES FOR THE 21st CENTURY

Sepion supplies custom membrane technology for selective transport challenges.
