We’re mitigating climate change by reducing the carbon footprint of chemical production.

SynAppBio uses proprietary processes to develop and commercialize carbon negative technology to produce commodity chemicals.

Today, most of these are derived for petroleum sources. Tomorrow, the only resources we will need are carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O) and renewable electricity. Instead of releasing CO2 into the atmosphere,  SynAppBio will create a variety of chemicals  using only CO2 and green electricity.  

To insure a truly sustainable manufacturing process,  all these processes will happen in a cell-free environment at ambient temperature and pressure.  The initial stage of SynAppBio’s manufacturing approach uses a simple enzyme system to transform inexpensive sugars to high-value specialty chemicals with varied applications like food and pharmaceuticals.

Fully developed, SynAppBio’s manufacturing technology will rely solely upon CO2 as its carbon source for chemical synthesis.
