Oakbio, Inc.

Initial validation of ecoli based platform for > 1T$ wastewater treatment industry

This ecoli based microbe platform expands the sources of waste materials Oakbio can convert to green, renewable fuels and other chemicals to include agricultural and municipal waste products.

Oakbio announced that Chris Schwier, PhD., an expert in commercial development of bioplastics, joined the Advisory Board. Oakbio's system uses bioreactors to create bioplastic using inputs of cement plant flue gas and electricity.

Oakbio awarded $474,843 from Public Interest Energy Research Program of the CA Energy Commission for “Carbon Dioxide Capture and Conversion to Chemical Products.” Oakbio technology captures CO2 from waste gas & converts to valuable chemicals.

Oakbio Inc. of Sunnyvale, CA, announced today successful production of bioplastic polymers in their bioreactor systems using flue gas from a cement plant. This is a milestone for the cement and renewable products industries.

Oakbio announced F. Robert Tabita, Ohio Eminent Scholar and Professor of Microbiology, Ohio State University, joined Oakbio's Advisory Board. Professor Tabita brings 30 years of experience studying how microorganisms capture and assimilate CO2.

Oakbio Inc. makes chemicals and fuels using CO2 from waste gas otherwise released from industry into the atmosphere. Oakbio addresses the global need to reduce atmospheric CO2 accumulation by capturing CO2 and converting this CO2 into chemical value.
