INDUSTRIAL BIOTECHNOLOGY · PORTO ALEGRE, BRAZIL
Bio-based succinic acid. The clean alternative to the fossil route.
Produced from crude glycerol, we deliver sustainability and ≥ 95% purity for the chemical industry — cutting your emissions by up to 60% with 100% domestic production.
THE PROBLEM
Succinic acid still comes from petroleum
Fossil dependence on petrochemical succinic acid drives high environmental impact and supply-chain instability. At the same time, crude glycerol from biodiesel remains underused and low in market value.
THE SOLUTION
A clean biotech route
Our advanced fermentation route converts glycerol into bio-based succinic acid. A high-purity drop-in substitute for bioplastics, specialty chemicals, pharma, and cosmetics — reducing the carbon footprint by up to 60%.
