Biocatalytic Approach to Convert Biomass Into Adipic Acid
FY 2023-24 · 2023-07-01
Summary
Adipic acid is the main building block of high-performance polymer Nylon 6,6 ($30 billion market), globally, chemical production of adipic acid from oil releases over 60 million tons/year of greenhouse gases (N2O+CO2). At OzoneBio, our goal is to produce bio-adipic acid using wood/agricultural waste-derived feedstocks as the main raw material. In our workflow, we utilize the “Zombie cell” bio-catalysis to transform wood-derived aromatics into adipic acid. The “Zombie cell” approach allows the transformation of challenging renewable feedstocks to adipic acid avoiding the limitations associated with live cell fermentation and high CAPEX for the facilities.

Description
Adipic acid is the main building block of high-performance polymer Nylon 6,6 ($30 billion market), globally, chemical production of adipic acid from oil releases over 60 million tons/year of greenhouse gases (N2O+CO2). At OzoneBio, our goal is to produce bio-adipic acid using wood/agricultural waste-derived feedstocks as the main raw material.

The “Zombie cell” approach allows the transformation of challenging renewable feedstocks to adipic acid avoiding the limitations associated with live cell fermentation and high CAPEX for the facilities.
Description (French)
L’acide adipique est le principal élément constitutif du polymère haute performance Nylon 6,6 (marché de 30 milliards de dollars). Au niveau mondial, la production chimique d’acide adipique à partir du pétrole libère plus de 60 millions de tonnes/an de gaz à effet de serre (N2O+CO2). Chez OzoneBio, notre objectif est de produire de l’acide adipique biologique en utilisant comme matière première principale des produits dérivés du bois et des déchets agricoles. Dans notre flux de travail, nous utilisons la biocatalyse de la «cellule zombie» pour transformer les aromatiques dérivés du bois en acide adipique. L’approche de la «cellule zombie» permet de transformer des matières premières renouvelables difficiles en acide adipique en évitant les limitations associées à la fermentation de cellules vivantes et les coûts élevés des installations.
