In California, Oakbio announced the development of a novel Escherichia coli (ecoli) based microbe model for the production of n-Butanol and other chemical products. This new waste carbon conversion platform uses the same expression system used in Oakbio’s successful CO2 capture and conversion system. Unlike other ecoli based systems the Oakbio model requires no antibiotics or […]
Tell us about your company and it’s role in the Advanced Bioeconomy. Oakbio has developed highly versitile microbial platforms and processes for waste carbon conversion. We have fluegas capture microbe, proven fluegas resistant, which producing PHAs and n-butanol. We also have an ecoli platform which can covert wastewater, agricultural waste and others to n-butanol. Both […]
If the long-term is green, and the present is based on carbon-intense “black” technologies – the near term is going to be shades of olive, and technologies that combine green and black may be the big winners. Today, 5 strategies at the nexus of green and black, exemplars of the Olive Economy A couple of […]
Can synthetic biology capture and utilize atmospheric CO2? And make money? And mitigate the carbon intensity of no-no feedstocks like coal, gas and oil? Opening up new paths towards low-cost domestic energy security? Beyond the entire range of conventional and advanced biofuels – or biomass-to-liquid technologies (BTL), lie a range of Coal-to-liquid, and Gas-to-liquid options […]
