Sustainable Renewal of Waste From Recovery & Production

Recovery and production processes in the current heavy industries create waste and emission outputs. We’ve engineered microbes that turn the waste such as CO2 into helpful compounds, therefore closing the carbon/waste loop.

There’s a world where science, tech, and business work hand-in-hand to generate climate-positive results. Where you can meet your sustainability goals and grow your bottom line. At Cemvita, we’re building it - together.

Who We Are

Joining Forces to Create an Economical, Environmentally Friendly Future

At Cemvita we believe that revenue goals and sustainability initiatives can, and should, coexist. It’s not only possible to provide sustainable solutions that increase revenue and cut costs—it’s imperative to the strength of our coalition and the soundness of our shared future. By developing sustainable, innovative solutions that benefit the environment and your business, we make the transition to clean energy feel like it’s supposed to. Natural. Empowering. Good.

Sustainable Recovery
of Natural Resources

Cemvita uses industrial biotech to recover natural resources without environmental damage. Our cost-effective microbes extract gold hydrogen from subsurface hydrocarbons and recover metals needed for the energy transition, such as copper and lithium, in an environmentally friendly way, providing more value at a lower impact. Through our proprietary processes, we’ll transform the negative impacts of mining into multiple positives.

Sustainable Production
of Everyday Materials

Our microbes don’t just extract existing resources—they convert carbon into chemicals that are used to make valuable everyday materials like polymers and plastics. By converting CO2 into the essential ingredients that power a host of meaningful industrial processes, we actively remove carbon from the atmosphere and empower businesses with a platform that’s truly carbon-negative.

Our Impact

  • 250 million tons of CO2 by 2050. Our Promise.
  • Carbon Repurposed. Climate Crisis Eradicated.
  • Impacting the Future of our Planet and Your Business
    for Good

Cemvita engineers nature-inspired processes that upgrade existing energy, chemicals, and mining infrastructure worldwide. With the power of biological systems and innovative technology on our side, our team of collaborators think big and act boldly. It’s not just our mission to remove 250 million tons of CO2  from the atmosphere per year by 2050. It’s our promise.

Billion Pounds

Our early techno-economic assessment promises cost-parity compared to the current cracking process and the life-cycle assessment shows we can utilize 1.7 million tons of CO2 (from the flue gas of a co-gen power plant) to produce 1 billion pounds of bioethylene per year.

eCO2 Biomanufacturing

Our carbon utilization platform leverages engineered microbes to create value-add materials and feedstock. At the same time, our products absorb and convert CO2 to virtually eliminate emissions, closing the carbon/waste loop. Together we can turn wasted potential into industry’s next source of clean revenue.

Gold H2

Microbes are teeming in the subsurface and have been quintessential in the history of oil and gas - from its formation to its shaping in the deep hot subsurface, to various impacts in its production.  Instead of plugging and abandoning end-of-life wells, we’re transforming them into clean hydrogen sources. A carbon-neutral fuel source that reshapes the world’s transition away from fossil fuels, Gold Hydrogen, makes inexpensive, eco-friendly hydrogen more accessible to refineries, power plants, and everyone seeking to meet their environmental—and financial—goals. What once would have been wasted becomes a viable, low-cost energy source with a climate-positive impact and countless applications.

cOre components
Biomining

Every aspect of our lives relies on metals, from the houses we live in, the machine that makes our morning coffee and electricity that powers our day.  The transition to renewable energy will require even more metals such as lithium, nickel and copper. To lessen the environmental burden of their extraction, our multidisciplinary scientists utilize biotechnology to pull the greatest tonnage, and the highest profits, with the lowest impact. We’re not reinventing the wheel. We’re making it smarter—and more efficient—to benefit the economy and the Earth.

Who We Work With

Groundbreaking Technology. Innovative Partnerships.

Laying the foundation for a sustainable, successful future by raising standards and forging new pathways. No matter their industry or entry point, our partners are our greatest asset.

As the 2nd largest international fleet of commercial airplanes, United Airlines needs sustainable aviation fuel (SAF)—and we’ve partnered up with them to turn CO2 into commercial power. As q global leader, United Airlines makes an impact beyond their own business, and with the Cemvita SAF in their engines, they’re reimagining a carbon-negative future for flyers everywhere.

Bioethylene is the synthetic, carbon-neutral alternative to biofuel that can power transportation around the world. With support from Oxy, we’re streamlining the production of this renewable asset by converting CO2 into safe, sustainable fuel using eco-friendly practices.
