Synthetic Genomics

Synthetic Genomics, Inc. (SGI) is a private biotechnology company harnessing the power of algae to make renewable, low carbon and energy dense liquid fuels for heavy duty transportation applicationsWith our unmatched understanding of how DNA and RNA instruct the functions of life, we design biology for improved purpose and function. We apply our unique ability in designing biology for function to address climate change, the most daunting challenge humankind and our planet has ever facedAlgae grow on CO2 and sunlight. Our team of scientists makes algae better. Better by making them more productive. Better at making oil suitable for liquid fuels. Better by turning them into a large scale and broadly deployable crop; one that does not compete for the prime agricultural land or freshwater resources needed for food We have been working with ExxonMobil since 2009. This long-term partnership ensures that our cutting-edge biological innovations meet the massive scale of the global energy industry thus making a difference in the fight to stop climate change and the quest for sustainability We have a track record of expanding the scientific horizon by delivering solutions that have never been possible. Built on a legacy of scientific firsts, our team of biological engineers are shaping the future bioeconomy.
