Phytonix Corporation is an industrial biotechnology firm pioneering sustainable chemical production through synthetic biology. The company specializes in creating n-butanol, a key industrial chemical, directly from carbon dioxide (CO2) and sunlight using engineered cyanobacteria. This innovative approach offers a carbon-negative solution to traditional chemical production, as it bypasses the need for biomass and reduces reliance on fossil fuels. The technology is scalable, cost-effective, and has the potential to disrupt the $12 billion n-butanol market, providing a sustainable alternative to conventional production methods. Phytonix’s work aligns with global efforts to combat climate change by using waste CO2 as a resource, fostering both environmental and economic benefits.
By making renewable chemical production more accessible, Phytonix aims to drive a more sustainable future in the chemical and energy sectors. The company holds global patents for its unique technology, positioning it as a leader in the growing bio-based chemical industry.
