Using better biology to unlock
low-carbon energy from cellulosic biomass

Globally, every year, billions of tons of leftover crop residues and perennial crops can be converted into clean energy – enough to supply over half of our transportation needs. Terragia’s mission is to develop and deploy disruptive technology to convert cellulosic biomass to ethanol, other fuels, and coproducts at a low cost — promoting sustainable development and building a stronger future for all.

Technology

Consolidated bioprocessing with co-treatment using engineered thermophilic bacteria is a new paradigm in biofuels that reduces capital cost, bioprocessing steps -- and ultimately cost.

Team

We are innovators, scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs, building on decades of combined experience. We are bound by shared values and a strong desire to change the world by developing an affordable low-carbon liquid fuel solution.
