[ 01 ]About

Cemvita applies synthetic biology to reverse climate change. It does this by engineering microbes to use carbon dioxide or methane as a feedstock for the production of carbon-negative industrial chemicals. The company's clients are oil and gas, chemical, mining, and aerospace companies that strive to apply nature-inspired technologies to reduce their carbon footprint while creating new revenue streams. Cemvita collaborates with you to identify how synthetic biology can help to achieve your sustainability goals, save costs, and create new revenue. This can be done either by using CO2 or methane as a feedstock (CCUS) or by replacing energy-intensive or chemically invasive processes. The company wants to be your extended team, exploring how synthetic biology can help you win. Cemvita offers a variety of services, ranging from delivering solutions to your carbon waste problems following a detailed feasibility study, all the way to in-depth techno-economic and life-cycle assessments to provide you with a tangible decision-making framework.
