b.fab is specialized in the efficient conversion of CO2 and hydrogen (H2) from renewable energy into biotechnological value chains. They use formate as their central mediator to bind and store CO2 and H2 (produce from water) in liquid form. Their bioprocesses start with the feedstock Formate and use Synthetic Biology to design specific pathways and to convert Formate into value-added chemicals. b.fab is dedicated to establishing a Formate Bioeconomy in the coming years to provide an economical and sustainable new way to produce value-added chemicals for various industries.
