Is a world where sustainable, biologically derived, green chemicals, produced in harmony with planet earth replace our dependence on fossil fuel equivalents.
Is to re-establish, at a global scale, the Acetone-Butanol-Ethanol (ABE) fermentation process to transform locally sourced, low-value byproducts, residues and waste into high-value green chemicals used in everyday items.
We’re helping to drive the transition to a Net Zero, Nature Positive world.
