  • 🎉 Great news for Capro-X Inc. to end the week on! 🥂 The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Bioenergy Technology Office (BETO) just announced their latest SBIR awardees ➡ we're happy to announce that we were awarded a Sustainable Biomass Conversion to Bio-Based Materials project. This award is just the beginning of Capro-X's journey to deliver carbon-negative, biodegradable plastics to the US economy that can lower our reliance on petrochems - and better yet - they're produced using platform chemicals we produce by naturally biorefining byproducts and wastes from our food/ag partners! We're always on the lookout for more industrial partners in the plastics space - if you're searching for sustainable coatings, films, or non-wovens - lets talk! https://lnkd.in/eMcXPYQR

  • Carbon tech founders - if you're in the TRL 4-7 window, this is a top-tier accelerator. Capro-X Inc. had an extremely productive year last year thanks to #C2VInitiative and the CLC. Looks like they've nearly doubled the CLC (i.e. doubled the opportunity for collaborations) - expanding leadership with more chemicals, fuels, and blue-tech. Congrats to Frederic Clerc and the team!
