Capra Biosciences

Petrochemicals without the petroleum

Company details

Capra Biosciences is bringing down the biomanufacturing capex by greater than 10 times through our novel biofilm-based bioreactor design. Capra is taking on the fundamental problem that hindered market adoption of fermentation-produced biofuels in the early 2010s by eliminating the need for immense amounts of water and stainless steel. From bio-retinol to lubricants, Capra is bringing biological technoeconomics and scaling to make bio-derived products identical to and cost-competitive with their petrochemical analogs.

Capra's bioreactor costs only $1000 to make, uses 100X less water, and can sell bio-derived retinol at 90% margins.
