Back in September 2015, we reported that Amyris inked a multi-year agreement with the US Defense Advance Research Projects Agency, the famed DARPA that gave us everything from kevlar to the Global Positioning System and the Internet — the goal in this $35M agreement with the Biological Technologies Office was to create new research and […]
In Texas, Terrabon announced today that it has been awarded a $9.6 million, 18-month contract by Logos Technologies to design a more economical and renewable jet fuel production solution for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. Started in April of 2011, a customized production process for DARPA will be engineered, constructed and operated at Terrabon’s […]
In Virginia, DARPA’s Microsystems Technology Office is launching the Living Foundries program with the goal of turning biological production into an engineering space where the only limit is the creativity of the designer. Living Foundries aims to enable on-demand production of new and high-value materials, devices and capabilities for the Department of Defense and establish […]
At the Paris Air Show, LanzaTech announced that it has been awarded funds from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), to perform research focused on novel, low-cost routes to production of jet fuel from carbon monoxide sources. The project will focus on reducing the cost of alcohol intermediates, which will be thermochemcally converted to […]
In Virginia, Logos Technologies has been awarded the second phase research grant from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency to produce fully compatible jet fuel from cellulose — the structural component of all plants and algae. With this process, Logos scientists and their teammates estimate, the cellulose waste streams from agriculture, industries, and cities could […]
