79% Informative

U.K. startup Deep Blue Biotech is building a business around a photosynthesis-based form of biomanufacturing that will enable it to manufacture chemicals in a more environmentally friendly way than conventional production methods.

The startup claims its method can achieve cost parity with conventional chemical production since the genetically engineered microorganism it’s using to produce the chemicals only requires feeding with relatively cheap ingredients: light, water and CO2.

Deep Blue Biotech is announcing an $ 800,000 pre-seed round to keep building towards a commercial MVP .

The round was led by Sustainable Ventures , with participation from One Planet Capital , PCSI , and SFC Capital .

The funding will be used to kick off their first paid pilots, entering into joint development agreements with customers to incorporate their hyaluronic acid into their own products.
