VIA BioFuels

The biomanufacturing industry knows how to scale fermentation, but not what to make. Fermentation capacity and feedstock supply are rapidly expanding, yet most facilities default to low-margin ethanol, wasting valuable infrastructure and missing high-value markets. Customers are demanding cost-effective, scalable alternatives to petroleum-derived molecules—not expensive “green” replacements. VIA BioFuels closes this gap by engineering yeast to produce bio-based aromatics that phase-separate naturally during fermentation. These hydrophobic molecules can be recovered without distillation, slashing downstream processing costs and enabling seamless integration into existing assets. This allows operators to extract more value from their current infrastructure while meeting market demand for for fuels and plastic precursors.
