A handful of industrial biotechnology companies have the strength and purpose to make it as a public company — others remain private, are acquired, or wind down. What makes companies able to succeed with public investors? What combination of product mix, experienced management, technologies that excel, capital at work, and effective vision make it possible […]

Why should DOE work on plastics circularity? For one, ~2-3% of total energy consumption in the US is used to manufacture plastics, resins, and synthetic rubber. Also, plastic production generates ~3.8% of global GHGs. Finally, plastic production uses ~6% of global oil production, representing a large opportunity for further energy and process efficiency improvements. These […]
In partnership with Sironix, Los Alamos National Lab researchers aimed to develop performance-advantaged biobased surfactants, noting that bifunctional oleo-furans eliminate the need for metal chelator additives; maintain function in hard and cold water. In this project, researchers aimed to reduce barriers to scaling up Sironix technology by addressing catalytic upgrading and process intensification challenges. Xiaokun […]
How robust are the biocatalysts in industrially relevant setups and at scale? How feasible are the bioprocesses at scale? How can we improve the performance of the biocatalysts while developing bioprocesses? To answer these questions, researchers launched a Process and Integration Scale Up Task to conduct bioreactor cultivations for ABF Target-Host pairs across scales, integrate […]
Transformational Sustainability Reporting has three components. First, the ”Science” – organizing and presenting key data that is needed for a variety of stakeholders. Second, the “Art” – preparing quality and timely reports such as Sustainability Reports, ESG Reports, and Feasibility Studies. Finally, there’s the “Voice”, consulting and marketing services to effectively communicate this data to […]
Axens offers today the largest portfolio for renewable technology deployment, providing efficient, reliable and flexible technologies to convert biomass into high quality and low-carbon alternative products for the transportation sector as well as the chemical industry. Axens’ David Schwalje presented these slides at ABLC 2024.
Claus Nussgruber, the CEO of Utility Global, made his ABLC debut with this look at the hydrogen landscape and in particular the eXEROtechnology platform, with the promise of electrolysis without costly and hard to secure electricity. And the H2Gen system rapidly progressing towards commercialization in 2026.
Bioprocessing solutions for next gen biorefineries is what MetGen is about, and this illuminating slide guide from ABLC 2024 highlights how they maximize the value for biomass, de-bottleneck a biorefinery, all about the enzymatic lignin fractionation process, their commercial roadmap, and more. CEO Alex Michine is the incisive presenter here.
In this presentation by Advanced Biofuels Association president Mike McAdams, we learn about matching policy with real-world reality using the basic tool box of tax credits, grants, loans, mandates and the RFS. We see policy issues such as “numbers don’t reflect reality,” available feedstocks are threatened, and there is over reliance in policy on technologies […]
