The world is growing – by 2050 the global population is expected to increase from seven billion today to more than nine billion, and the number of cars on the road is expected to double from one billion to two billion. The rising demand for food and fuel will create challenges around the globe.
At Codexis, we are creating sustainable chemicals, clean fuels, pharmaceutical processes, and renewable ingredients that make industry more efficient, productive and profitable. Industrial biotechnology from Codexis reengineers enzymes and microorganisms—nature’s catalysts—and puts them to work to solve real global challenges for the world’s largest companies. We provide our customers with optimized, faster, flexible, cost-advantaged biosolutions and products tailored for their needs.
Codexis biobased chemical solutions:
- transform waste biomass into a source of clean fuel
- provide new, sustainable sources of key ingredients in household consumer products
- lower the cost of pharmaceutical production
- enable the cost-effective manufacture of industrial chemicals from sustainable sources
Codexis biobased chemistry can turn agricultural waste or energy crops into clean, next-generation ethanol for the fuels industry and produce components of industrial detergents using sustainable ingredients. Pharmaceutical manufacturers use the Codexis biotechnology platform to increase purity and yields and produce less toxic waste. Carbon capture enzymes engineered by biochemical technology from Codexis are in development to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and transform industrial byproducts into fertilizer. Codexis is developing biobased solutions for a more productive world.
