Making Biofuels Sustainable
BioTork is developing a wide range of micro-organisms that are key elements in the production processes of advanced transportation biofuels. Using a proprietary technology, we change the metabolic properties of microorganisms to enable them to perform specific tasks at an industrial scale that the original microbial strain was incapable of accomplishing. The added value for our partners resides in our ability to optimize production costs by significantly reducing waste streams and generating greater yields.
