Problem
Many industrial processes generate waste gases containing carbon dioxide (CO2) and other carbon-based compounds, which are typically released into the atmosphere as greenhouse gas emissions. Traditional methods of waste gas disposal offer limited environmental benefits and fail to capitalize on the potential value of these carbon resources.
Solution
Synata Bio has developed a gas fermentation technology that converts synthesis gas (syngas) derived from waste sources into low-carbon ethanol and other circular chemicals. The technology utilizes proprietary microorganisms to efficiently convert waste gases, including CO2, into valuable products, effectively reducing carbon emissions and promoting a circular economy. Synata Bio's solution offers a sustainable alternative to traditional waste disposal methods, enabling industries to reduce their carbon footprint while generating revenue from waste streams. The company positions itself as a turnkey technology partner, offering scalable and affordable decarbonization solutions.
Target Audience
Synata Bio's primary customers are industries that generate waste gases containing CO2, such as coal-to-chemical facilities, refineries, petrochemical facilities, ethanol plants, energy-from-waste facilities, biomass combined heat and power (CHP) plants, and biogas facilities.
