Genomatica

edit

Genomatica is the emerging leader in sustainable chemicals: ‘greener’ intermediate and basic chemicals that we make from renewable feedstocks, and at lower cost. Its products act as direct replacements in a trillion-dollar global market that is currently based on fossil fuels.

Genomatica bring substantial and unique technology that transforms the industry’s economics. This allows the company and its partners to build commercial manufacturing plants at substantially lower capex, and to produce chemicals for less than our petro-based competition, while being significantly more environmentally sustainable.

Genomatica’s technology could substantially reduce the 8% of the world’s fossil fuels used for chemical production, reduce carbon emissions by hundreds of millions of tons, and create thousands of cleantech jobs.
