Turning CO2 into valuable products, powered by the sun  

EcoSummit Berlin May 20th, 2015

 

We  use  cyanobacteria  that  live  on  CO2  and  sunlight          We  engineer  these  bacteria  to  have  them  produce  valuable  compounds  by  design        We  grow  the  engineered  cyanobacteria  under  relevant  condi:ons  in  our  pilot  facili:es,  gaining  control  over  cri:cal  process  parameters  

Photanol  in  a  nutshell  

Photanol  is  targe:ng  a  balanced  range  of  products  Ramping  up  from  high  price,  low  volume,  to  low  price,  high  volume  markets

Higher volume, lower price

Lower volume, higher price

Photanol  aims  to  partner  across  the  value  chain  

Platform as a value driver

CO2 as a value driver Products a a value driver

Power plants Waste incinerators Industrial sites Biogas producers

Pigments Terpenes Polyols Organic acids Alcohols

CMOs Diversified chemical companies

Our  near-­‐term  targets  

w  Develop  down  stream  processing  for  selected  products  w  Combine  and  test  leading  photo-­‐bioreactor  designs  w  Build  and  run  a  0.5  ha  plant  

w  Diversify  strain  porKolio,  increasing  the  range  of  products  we  can  produce  

w  Increase  efficiency  of  exis:ng  strains,  improving  their  produc:vity  

w  Close  off-­‐take  agreements  for  small,  high  price,  near-­‐market  products  

w  Close  joint  development  agreements  for  CO2  mi:ga:on,  and  for  product  development  for  larger  volume,  lower  price  products
