Specifically, the collaboration will utilize Acies Bio’s innovative OneCarbonBio™ microbial platform, which focuses on transforming renewable and recycled one-carbon feedstocks—such as captured CO₂ emissions and plastic waste—into valuable chemical intermediates.
Together, they aspire to create commercially scalable technologies that can produce high-demand industrial chemicals without competing with food resources. “By merging our commercialization expertise with Acies Bio’s advanced platform, we are taking a significant step towards a more sustainable future in cleantech manufacturing,” Dr. Jongku Lee, Chief Technology Officer at LG Chem, said in a press statement.
