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.

Project Lead: 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.

Project lead: 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.

Project leads: Etosha Cave and Kendra Kuhl

MEMBRANES FOR THE 21st CENTURY

Sepion supplies custom membrane technology for selective transport challenges.

Project lead: Peter Frischmann

A BREADBOARD FOR BIOLOGY

Synvitrobio’s technology creates a prototyping environment to rapidly speed up design-build-test cycles for bio-based processes and increase the amount of data collected.

Project lead: Zachary Sun

AFFORDABLE HEATING AND COOLING FOR THE MASSES

Treau has developed soft-matter heat exchangers, compressors, and expanders that are lower cost, higher performance, and more versatile than traditional metal devices.

Project Lead: Vince Romanin

BIO-CHEMICALS AND FUELS

The Visolis process will enable production of bio-based elastomers, unsaturated polyester resins, super adsorbent polymers, and other products using a variety of feedstocks like agri-residues, dextrose, glycerol and syn-gas.
