Transforming Chemicals Production for a Sustainable Future

C3 Biotech is pioneering a new era in sustainable industrial chemistry, delivering biologically derived commodity chemicals and fuels that can finally compete — on price and performance — with fossil-based incumbents.

At the core of our innovation is a breakthrough fermentation platform. By eliminating the need for costly sterile conditions, we slash both CAPEX and OPEX, unlocking biomanufacturing at a scale and cost point that radically shifts what’s possible for biological production.

We enable industrial-scale manufacturing of fuels and chemicals that not only reduce emissions but also work seamlessly with existing infrastructure and global supply chains.

Industrialising Engineering and Generative Biology

C3 applies the principles of engineering and generative biology — the design, evolution, and engineering of robust microbial strains — to create high-yield production systems tailored for real-world conditions.

Our strains are built to thrive in non-sterile, low-cost environments, transforming industrial waste streams, including CO₂, into high-value commodity products. This enables both the circular reuse of carbon and the production of novel, sustainable chemicals at commercially viable yields.

By combining biology, chemistry, and process engineering, we’re delivering drop-in alternatives to petrochemicals and creating entirely new products not currently accessible through fossil routes — all while de-risking scale-up for commercial readiness.

Our mission is to make sustainable biomanufacturing competitive, scalable, and economically viable — enabling a global shift away from fossil feedstocks toward renewable carbon inputs.

What We Make

 

C3’s biological production platforms are designed for:

  • Commodity and platform chemicals (e.g., acrylics, solvents, industrial gases)
  • Specialty molecules for high-value and hard-to-abate sectors (e.g. cosmetics sector)

Our products are made from waste carbon and industrial byproducts, forming the basis of low-carbon and circular chemical value chains.

 

Industries We Serve

C3’s platform technologies are designed for flexibility and compatibility across global industrial sectors:

  • Industrial Commodity Chemicals
  • Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG)
  • Sustainable Plastics and Materials

Our low-cost, scalable solutions enable widespread adoption — especially in industries that rely on high-volume carbon-based inputs and require plug-and-play integration.

Collaborating to Accelerate Impact

 

C3’s rapid progress is driven by a collaborative innovation model.

We partner with:

  • Major corporates to co-develop and scale biomanufacturing processes for commodity markets.
  • Specialist SMEs in chemistry, synthetic biology, and process engineering to advance innovation, de-risk manufacturing pathways, and drive down production costs.

Together, these partnerships form an agile and deeply integrated development ecosystem that accelerates our technologies from lab to pilot to commercial scale — ensuring readiness for global deployment.

 

Let’s Build the Future of Manufacturing — Together

C3 Biotech is redefining what’s possible with biology. Through breakthrough technology and collaborative innovation, we are enabling a new generation of sustainable, high-performance industrial products — at a cost the world can afford.

Join us in building the next industrial revolution — powered by biology.
