Energy is required to run nearly every aspect of our lives: from home to work and the in-between. Energy availability impacts jobs, transportation, the environment, the economies of the developed and the developing world, national security and our universal desire for improved standards of living.
Clean energy technologies are also the nexus of the GNext™ effort: our initial focus on air, water and renewable energy has its origin here, considering that traditional fossil- and petroleum-based sources of energy require enormous amounts of water and generate tons of airborne pollution.
Genencor already has considerable experience and investment in biotechnology solutions that reduce dependence on fossil fuels. Our enzyme engineering effortsare already significantly reducing energy consumption in existing categories such as industrial textile processing and household detergents. Our enzyme development in biofuels constitute a major contributor to the 10% of U.S. transportation fuels coming from non-fossil sources. When it comes to the development of new energy sources or processes, we have a keen interest and ability to innovate.
With GNext, we look to combine Genencor's biotechnology and your innovation to develop sustainable energy technology — whether for transportation fuels, energy storage, energy recycling or other significant applications. If you are looking for a renewable energy development partner with expertise in enzyme, microbe, or protein engineering on an industrial scale, contact us today.
