Pioneering renewable solutions for chemicals, fuels, and protein
BioVerde transforms low-cost methane – including natural gas and renewable biogas –
into high-value, sustainable products for the chemicals, energy, and animal feed sectors.
Our scalable and efficient process is carbon-neutral to carbon-negative via precision-engineered methanotrophs that produce cost-advantaged and low-carbon monomers (chemical feedstocks) and protein-rich biomass from natural gas and waste/renewable methane.
BioVerde’s methane bioconversion platform and viable economics are powering a meaningful transition to a more sustainable future.
BioVerde combines precision engineering, carbon-conscious design, and cost-effective scalability to transform abundant and inexpensive feedstocks into clean, high-value chemical, monomer, fuel, and protein products.
Our methane feedstocks are independent of agricultural land or water use, enabling sustainable production that preserves food system resources.
BioVerde’s low-cost inputs and scalable system deliver unmatched production economics –
positioning us to offer the world’s lowest-cost sustainable chemicals.
Our team of established industry experts brings a passion for commercializing innovation and a proven history across markets, technology, and operations.

BioVerde uses engineered methanotrophs in aerobic gas fermentation systems to convert methane – including natural gas and biogas – into renewable chemicals, fuels, and protein-rich biomass.
BioVerde builds on the legacy of MBP Titan, the industrial biotech division of Intrexon (now Precigen, NASDAQ: PGEN). After Intrexon’s shift to pharmaceuticals, BioVerde acquired the platform’s IP, data, and extensive scientific know-how – developed by over 150 scientists across seven years. A new $12.5M Tech Hubs grant now supports the expansion of our platform in Northeast Ohio, a hub of the global polymer and synthetic rubber industries.
BioVerde delivers cost-effective, sustainable alternatives to traditional chemical and protein production, helping meet growing global demand for industrial feedstocks and animal feed without impacting resources needed for food and agriculture.
Chemicals (e.g., rubber, plastics), energy (fuels), and agriculture (animal and aquaculture feed). Future expansion targets additional sustainable monomers and platform chemicals.
BioVerde offers a scalable and flexible platform that combines advanced biotechnology with environmental performance, delivering breakthrough innovation, strong economics, and a path to sustainable growth.
Methane is an ideal fit for biomanufacturing. It is abundant, both as clean, reliable natural gas and in sustainable, renewable form as byproducts of industrial and agricultural processes and waste streams. As an energy-rich carbon source for bacterial growth, methane is far more cost-effective than other reduced carbon forms and does not compete with agricultural food production.
We start with clean, low-cost pipeline natural gas and are expanding to include renewable and waste methane sources, such as biogas and landfill gas. Our system is uniquely designed to tolerate common methane impurities and variable gas compositions.
Our process reduces emissions by converting methane – a potent greenhouse gas – into useful products. Combined with integrated CO₂ capture, renewable energy use, and waste methane utilization, we enable carbon-neutral to carbon-negative outcomes.
