A biological, fermentation-based process starting from renewable raw materials offers the most compelling economics. However, petroleum products could not be made in this way. Until now.

LS9 is engineering a wide range of DesignerMicrobes™ that are used in a proprietary 1-step fermentation process to produce renewable fuels and sustainable chemicals.

Renewable Fuels: LS9 Renewable Petroleum™ technology enables the rapid and widespread adoption of renewable transportation fuels. Patent-pending UltraClean™ fuels are custom engineered to have higher energetic content than ethanol or butanol; to have fuel properties that are essentially indistinguishable from those of gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel; and to be distributed in existing pipeline infrastructure and run in any vehicle.

Sustainable Chemicals: Using the same technology platform, LS9's 1-step fermentation process enables the production of industrial and consumer chemicals using sustainable feedstocks that are significantly less carbon-intense and extremely cost competitive. Learn more.
