Description:
In the 21st century, consumers are increasingly demanding products that reflect their more sustainable values and lifestyles. There is a big demand for clean sustainable polymers on the global market. Adipic acid is the main building block of Nylon 6,6 ($28B market) high-performance polymer that is made from oil. Global adipic acid production results in toxic greenhouse gases N2O and CO2 release (~60 MILLION TONS/ YEAR). It is important to develop emission-free technology to replace oil-based Nylon 6,6. Within the OzoneBio we developed unique “Zombie cells” approach that allows us to convert wood-derived phenolic compounds into adipic acid at high rates.
