We combine microbial metabolic engineering with bioprocess technology to develop ways to produce aromatic chemicals from renewable feedstocks instead of petroleum.
Our goal is not simply to produce chemicals through biotechnology, but to deliver industry-ready products that meet requirements for quality, cost, and reliable supply.
Starting with high-value applications in cosmetics and advanced materials, we aim to expand into larger chemical markets and build a new manufacturing platform for the chemical industry.
Bringing Bio-Based Chemicals to Industry
From Lab-Scale Production to Industrial Manufacturing.
Synthetic biology is rapidly advancing our ability to produce chemicals. However, a major gap remains between laboratory production and cost-effective manufacturing at scales of thousands to tens of thousands of liters, while maintaining consistent quality and productivity.
BioPhenolics integrates strain engineering, fermentation and purification processes, feedstock evaluation, operating conditions, and scale-up development.
By addressing the challenges of commercial production step by step, we turn laboratory innovations into practical chemical products for industrial use.

Building a Chemical Supply Chain Beyond Petroleum
The value of biomanufacturing goes beyond replacing petroleum-based feedstocks with renewable resources.
Using plant-derived sugars and underutilized local resources can diversify feedstock options and reduce dependence on petroleum. Locating production closer to feedstocks and customers may also enable more flexible and resilient chemical supply chains.
BioPhenolics aims to develop chemical manufacturing that combines reduced CO₂ emissions with cost competitiveness, feedstock diversity, and reliable supply.
