项目摘要

This PFI: AIR Technology Translation project focuses on translating an efficient bioprocess for domestic production of fatty acids from renewable biomass sugars. The translated advanced bioprocess has the following unique features: it is heterotrophic fermentation based and not land based, which provides exemplary high yield, and high efficiency. Furthermore, it is weather independent, environmentally friendly and will enable a low cost supply of fatty acids when compared to the fatty acids production from palm and coconut plants. The project accomplishes this goal by rapidly developing the microbial strain and bioprocess resulting in scale-up in the near future. The partnership engages Technology Holding to provide guidance in the process development and other aspects including future financing, commercialization trajectory and market strategy as they pertain to the potential to translate the advanced bioprocess technology along a path that may result in a competitive commercial reality. The technology has potential to have a significant impact on a $50 B consumer products market in the next 7-10 years, which will contribute to the U.S. competitiveness in the consumer products industry. The societal impact, long term, will be reduced dependence on foreign countries, high-value jobs creation by creating a new domestic industry, access to cheaper products and environmental sustainability.

该 PFI：AIR 技术翻译项目的重点是翻译一种高效的生物工艺，用于利用可再生生物质糖在国内生产脂肪酸。翻译后的先进生物工艺具有以下独特之处：它是基于异养发酵而不是基于土地的，具有堪称典范的高产率和高效率。此外，它不受天气影响，对环境友好，并且与棕榈和椰子植物生产脂肪酸相比，能够以低成本供应脂肪酸。该项目通过快速开发微生物菌株和生物工艺来实现这一目标，从而在不久的将来扩大规模。该合作伙伴关系聘请Technology Holding在工艺开发和其他方面提供指导，包括未来融资、商业化轨迹和市场战略，因为它们涉及将先进生物工艺技术转化为可能带来竞争性商业现实的潜力。该技术有可能在未来7-10年内对50B美元的消费品市场产生重大影响，这将有助于提高美国在消费品行业的竞争力。从长远来看，社会影响将减少对外国的依赖、通过创建新的国内产业创造高价值就业机会、获得更便宜的产品和环境可持续性。
