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.

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.

Terragia’s technology was invented in Dr. Lee Lynd’s lab at Dartmouth’s Thayer School of Engineering and the University of Campinas in Brazil.

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.
