San Diego, October 17, 2013 – Genomatica announced today that additional companies have made sample parts that use BDO made with its bio-based process technology. In June, Lanxess announced that it had converted 20 tons of BDO made with Genomatica\u2019s process at their world-scale PBT plant. Now, some of Lanxess\u2019 customers have used that PBT to make sample parts, and two are showcasing samples at Lanxess\u2019 booth (#C76\/78 in hall 06) at the international K Trade Fair, which is focused on the plastics and rubber industries.<\/strong><\/p>\n

An increasing range of products are being made that incorporate BDO made using Genomatica\u2019s bio-based process technology. Shown here, a sample junction box from Menneke made with PBT from Lanxess derived from this BDO; and fibers from Trevira, for technical non-woven applications.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Mennekes, a leading maker of electrical products, has made electrical junction boxes; Trevira, a leading maker of high-tech polyester fibers and filaments, has made a non-woven technical textile, which are often used in protective clothing.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese materials are the latest examples of the application usability of bio-based BDO made with Genomatica\u2019s commercial process technology,\u201d said Christophe Schilling, Ph.D., CEO of Genomatica. \u201cThese proof points follow announcements by Lanxess, DSM, Toray, and Far Eastern New Century \u2013 along with detailed technical support \u2013 validating Genomatica\u2019s process. We believe that licensees of our technology will find ever-increasing application demand for the renewable and proven version of BDO that they are bringing to the market.\u201d<\/p>\n

About Genomatica<\/strong><\/em>
\nGenomatica is a widely-recognized technology leader for the chemical industry. It develops comprehensive manufacturing processes that enable its licensee partners to produce the world\u2019s most widely-used chemicals a \u2018better way,\u2019 from renewable feedstocks, with better economics and greater sustainability than petroleum-based processes.<\/em><\/p>\n

Genomatica\u2019s first process, for BDO, is now commercial. Genomatica\u2019s BDO process was used to make 5 million pounds of BDO in late 2012; and has been licensed by BASF and by Novamont. Multiple companies, including Lanxess, DSM, Toray, and Far Eastern New Century, have confirmed that BDO produced using Genomatica\u2019s process can be used the exact same way for downstream products as chemicals made from fossil fuel feedstocks, simplifying and accelerating adoption. Genomatica is developing processes for additional major chemicals; the next is for butadiene, with Versalis as partner.<\/em><\/p>\n

Genomatica\u2019s recognition includes the Kirkpatrick Award, recognizing the most noteworthy chemical engineering technology commercialized in the world in the prior two years; the EPA Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Award; the Wall Street Journal Technology Innovation award; and being voted #1 Hottest three years in a row by Biofuels Digest.<\/em><\/p>\n
