Anodyne is an industrial biotechnology company focusing on the sustainable production of chemicals. Anodyne delivers chemicals using a highly selective, low temperature method that is both carbon and energy efficient.

Anodyne is founded on transformative bio-chemistry developed by Manou Davies, and her high school chemistry tutor, Robert Greene. Combining enzyme immobilization with a novel electron transfer mechanism, the team has been effective in replacing fossil fuels as both feedstock and energy source for a range of chemicals and fuels used to manufacture plastic bags, toys, cancer drugs and food ingredients.

    of enzymes to outcompete soluble metal catalysts

 

Market opportunity:

 

  • Polymers ($700B)
  • Active Pharma Ingredients ($166B)
  • Plastics ($520B)
  • Agrochemicals ($55B)

 

Key risks:
