Breakthrough Biomanufacturing for Real-World Impact

C3 Biotech is redefining how chemicals and fuels are made — using generative biology and non-sterile fermentation to deliver sustainable, cost-effective alternatives to traditional petrochemical products.

We focus on high-volume industrial applications that benefit from localised production, reduced emissions, and drop-in compatibility. Our platform transforms waste carbon and biomass into value-added products that power essential industries.

Sustainable Plastics and Platform Chemicals

A new route to essential materials — without the petrochemical baggage.

Acrylic is a vital input in plastics, paints, adhesives, and textiles. Traditionally derived from fossil fuels, C3 is building a more sustainable route using biomass waste and seawater-based fermentation.

By producing acrylic precursor molecules in bulk under non-sterile industrial conditions, we are creating a viable, circular economy alternative that decouples acrylic production from oil and gas dependence.

End users:

  • Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG)
  • Plastics and polymers manufacturing
  • Coatings, adhesives, and textiles industries

Sustainable Kerosene

Sustainable Kerosene

A drop-in replacement — ready today, built for tomorrow.

Our biologically produced kerosene matches the energy density and performance of traditional jet fuel but is manufactured using renewable carbon sources in a non-sterile, decentralised bioprocess. This allows for on-site production near airfields or industrial hubs, cutting logistics costs and emissions.

Because C3 Kerosene mirrors conventional kerosene properties, it can be used in existing jet engines without modification—enabling seamless adoption.

End users:

  • Commercial aviation
  • Industrial heat and power
  • Residential fuel needs in remote areas

Bio-LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas)

Cleaner energy from waste — locally produced, globally relevant.

C3’s bio-LPG replaces fossil-derived propane and butane with molecules generated from waste biomass and captured CO₂, using a hybrid fermentation and photocatalysis process. Production can be decentralised and adapted to local feedstocks — making it ideal for both rural and urban applications, from Washington to Hawaii.

This scalable solution enables clean energy access in remote locations while reducing transportation costs and emissions.

End users:

  • Residential heating and cooking
  • Commercial energy
  • Industrial heating
  • Autogas (transport fuel)

 

 

What’s Next

C3’s product pipeline continues to expand as we work with corporate and SME partners to unlock new applications across fuels, commodity chemicals, and specialty molecules.

Our biomanufacturing platform is designed to scale rapidly across global markets, adapting to local waste streams, carbon sources, and industry needs — accelerating the transition to a low-carbon, high-performance industrial future.

Hypersonic Fuels and Energetic Materials

Powering the frontier of aerospace with clean, high-performance fuels.

C3’s hypersonic fuels and energetic materials are engineered for spacecraft and high-speed aviation, delivering superior energy density and performance without hazardous byproducts or reliance on fossil hydrocarbons.

These fuels are made via a sustainable, scalable process that provides the aerospace and defense sectors with a reliable, environmentally responsible fuel source — meeting the highest technical demands with lower emissions and greater supply chain flexibility.
