Tomorrow's Chemistry. Today.

Responsible. Economical. Available.

There's a perfect substitute for petrochemicals found in everyday products.
BioAmber produces it responsibly, economically and at scale.

Next Generation Yeast

While its curent technology is technically and economically proven, BioAmber is seeking to further reduce cost by developing a new generation yeast that can produce biosuccinic acid at a low pH.

Powerful, Proprietary Yeast

Through its collaboration with Cargill, BioAmber is developing a next-generation yeast for the production of succinic acid. Capable of using sugars derived from non-food feedstocks such as lignocellulosic biomass and agricultural residues, this yeast effectively reduces the cost of production while delivering an important socio-environmental benefit.

Proven Track Record

Cargill has successfully scaled up its yeast for lactic acid production and currently produces 100% of its commercial lactic acid with this organism. BioAmber has the exclusive, worldwide rights to Cargill's yeast for the production of succinic acid.
