Vision

To be the World Leader in ABE Fermentation as a Global Sustainable Industry

Mission Statement

Our mission is to re-establish, at a global scale, the Acetone-Butanol-Ethanol (ABE) fermentation process, utilising local low value materials to produce low-carbon, high-value, sustainable products.  We will continue to innovate, enhance and optimise our patented technology in terms of science, engineering and manufacturing excellence, to develop world leading biorefineries in key locations, that will grow local economies and shareholder value.  Our commitment is to work with strategic partners to create an environmentally and socio-economically viable industry that displaces fossil fuel derivatives.
