OGMA
Engineering the future of biomanufacturing
Introduction
Imagine a future where all products are made from renewable sources and petrochemicals belong to the past. OGMA’s catalysts make this world a reality by replacing enzymes with more stable and cost-effective nano-catalysts, making renewable production possible at scale.
Problem
95% of all manufactured goods stem from the petrochemical industry which is responsible for 21% of all greenhouse gas emissions. There is a greener way to produce the exact same products sustainably without petrochemicals: biomanufacturing. Biomanufacturing is crucial for sustainable production as it leverages living systems to create bio-based products, reducing dependency on fossil fuels. However, its large-scale profitability is restricted by significant costs and inefficiencies, mainly due to enzymes, expensive catalysts that only work under narrow, controlled conditions.
Opportunity
At OGMA, we engineer robust nano-catalysts designed to overcome the limitations of traditional enzymes. Our catalysts are significantly less expensive and operate efficiently in conditions in which enzymes cannot survive. This expands the potential for biomanufacturing processes, making them more viable and profitable at scale.
