Our Platform

We’re powering the fossil-free world.
Our high-performance biomaterials are replacing petrochemical ingredients.

Our breakthrough fermentation platform is powered by proprietary carbon conserving (C2) microbes that convert renewable feedstocks into high-value materials while radically minimizing carbon dioxide loss.

ZymoChem produces bio-based products at up to a 50% higher yield - compared to today’s best-in-class biomanufacturing.

The result is a bioprocess that is far more efficient and enables fully circular manufacturing. The efficiencies of our platform unlock superior economics -
up to 50% lower cost
than incumbents.

From our Co-Founder & Chief Scientific Officer:

“Our Carbon Conserving technology can unwind the precedent set by decades of carbon-intensive manufacturing, and provide a model for materials production fit for the 21st Century.”

— Jon Kuchenreuther

Our Bio-Based Materials

Bio-based refers to products or materials that are derived from renewable biological sources, such as plants, animals, and microorganisms. The term is often used interchangeably with the terms “biobased” and “bio-derived.”

What does it mean to be a chemical biomanufacturer?


We help make everyday products that already exist truly sustainable.

We are not inventing a new category, just as we are not asking our partners or downstream customers to reinvent their business. 

Instead, we produce microbes and essential ingredients that replace petroleum-based ingredients in everyday products. 

Given that, we demonstrate how the traditional chemical industry can shift to sustainable-manufacturing.
