Project Manager (Engineering)

CO2 is a global problem. By fermenting it into carbon negative chemicals, we make it the solution.

We have figured out how to take the carbon outputs from industrial emitters, and use them as the inputs for chemical manufacturing. We’re not simply storing carbon away - we are turning it into valuable, emission-free green-chemicals.

If that doesn’t bubble your bioreactor, how about this: For every tonne of products we make, over 2 tonnes of carbon are removed from the atmosphere. We have raised over $50m to date from top venture capital investors as well as in grant funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 programme.
