Biofuels

New, sustainable, high-performance liquid transportation fuels are essential to meeting the challenges of global warming. Biofuels are used in a tiny fraction of currently-operating cars, trucks, trains, ships and planes. Clean fuels that effectively serve existing vehicle infrastructure will find a strong and receptive market. Codexis, partnered with Shell, is developing advanced biofuels from renewable, non-food sources to meet this demand.

Pharmaceuticals

Global pharmaceutical manufacturers face both economic and sustainability challenges. Patent expirations of large-selling drugs and increased generics competition are reshaping this multi-billion dollar industry. Manufacturers are also finding an increased connection between green manufacturing practices and reduced costs, as they strive to reduce their carbon footprint. Codexis technology is in use at more than 20 drug companies around the world, including Merck, Pfizer and Teva, reducing manufacturing costs and improving sustainability.
