Bio-Malonic acid fermentation process to be validated at ABPDU and scaled at NREL

Lygos will conduct the testing at APBDU to overcome current barriers to scale-up, and then move production to NREL.

The U.S. trade deficit in petroleum products is finally shrinking. Policies that foster better fuel economy, increased oil production, and expanded use of renewable fuels have helped reduce our reliance on imported fuels from 60% in 2005 to 40% in 2012—and the trend continues.

Feedstock conversions yields approach theoretical maximum

ABPDU's collaboration with the Joint BioEnergy Institute is featured in Biofuels Digest.

Lygos’ fermentation technology enables production of malonic acid at a lower cost

ABPDU's success is featured in Biofuels Digest.

Biofuels that are produced from biobased materials are a good alternative to petroleum based fuels. They offer several benefits to society and the environment. Producing second generation biofuels is even more challenging than producing first generation biofuels due the complexity of the biomass and issues related to producing, harvesting, and transporting less dense biomass to centralized biorefineries.
