The Company is actively searching for technologies and approaches for manufacturing sustainably-produced triglycerides of saturated carbon chains between C8 – C24.
Examples of technologies of interest include (but are not limited to): 

• Production of triglycerides:
o Fermentation and extraction of triglycerides from oleaginous microorganisms (e.g. microalgae, yeast, bacteria, fungi)
o Cell-free biosynthetic pathways (e.g. enzymatic)
o Catalytic production of triglyceride and triglycerides precursors and building blocks e.g., glycerol and fatty acids

• Carbon / hydrogen capture and generation methods for use as feedstocks for making triglycerides
o Utilisation of CO2 and other carbon sources such as waste / by-products (e.g. free fatty acids and glycerol) or other renewable feedstocks
o Electrical photosynthesis
o Sustainable sources of hydrogen for chemical synthesis
Ideally, the potential solutions would have the following benefits: 

• Use of inexpensive feedstocks

• Low energy and/or water consumption

• Minimises waste production

• Demonstrated proof-of-concept
