Department of Energy’s Agile BioFoundry and ABPDU Partner with Industrial Microbes to Successfully Scale Up Bio-Based Process

Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) funded Agile BioFoundry (ABF) and the Advanced Biofuels and Bioproducts Process Development Unit (ABPDU), have successfully scaled up a bio-based process that converts ethanol into a valuable precursor for consumer products, such as paints, coatings, and diapers. The researchers worked with industry partner, Industrial Microbes, to develop the technology.
