Introduction of Nanjing Gasgene Biochemical Technology Co.ltd

       Nanjing Gasgene Biotechnology Co., Ltd. possesses a leading gene editing technology and anaerobic gas-fermentation technology for gas-fermenting clostridia. Gasgene utilizes engineered clostridia to convert industrial off-gas (primarily composed of CO/H2/CO2) or green hydrogen with green carbon into carbon-negative chemicals and feeding-protein. This technology offers significant quality and cost advantages. The company is dedicated to transforming carbon source utilization, and driving the chemical and energy industries through synthetic biology. This contributes to national energy security, food security, and carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals.

Founding Team

Gasgene is consisted of top scientists, engineers from leading research institutions, and business executives from leading firms

Carbon Negative Technology is Crucial

Since the beginning of the Industrial Era (around 1750), fossil fuel extraction and its combustion have resulted in the transfer of a significant amount of fossil carbon, causing a major change to the carbon cycle.

Human activities have greatly accelerated carbon emissions. But the carbon fixation in nature is relatively slow and stable. Technologies that can neutralize emissions play an important role in meeting international climate goals.

Industrial activities such as energy, steel, chemical and other industries generate huge amount of one-carbon greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, methane, etc. Our technology utilizes gene edited carbon-fixing microorganisms to selectively convert one-carbon gas into long-chain（C3+） bulk chemicals and bacterial proteins on a large scale in anaerobic bioreactors. Our business strategy is to establish tens of thousands of ton-level gas fermentation plants in situ, directly converting hundreds of thousands of tons of industrial off-gas from high carbon emission intensity factories into tens of thousands of tons of bulk chemicals

Excessive industrial carbon emissions :

The dependence of basic chemicals on petroleum resources:

The large amount of basic chemicals needed in human daily life comes from petrochemicals. We use gene editing technology for carbon-fixing microorganisms and gas fermentation technology to synthesize multiple bulk basic chemicals in one step using one carbon gas as feedstock, thereby eliminating dependence on non-renewable petroleum resources.

Protein shortage:

The aquaculture industry requires a large amount of feed protein, such as soybean meal, fish meal, etc. Many countries in the world lack feed protein. Our technology utilizes carbon fixing microorganisms to fix and convert one-carbon gas, while producing a large amount of bacterial protein, which can serve as a source of high-quality feed protein. These proteins do not rely on large amounts of farmland and water resources and can be produced on a large scale in fermentation tanks. The protein produced by a 10,000-ton factory, if converted into the same amount of plant protein, is equivalent to the output of  15,000 acres of arable land, and saves 100 million liters of water.

(such as n-butanol, acetone, and isopropanol) and bacterial proteins with significant cost reduction and substantial profits (at least 20% net profit). Therefore, the plant can realize large-scale carbon reduction while profiting from the sales of bulk chemicals and feed proteins，which is a sustainable path to eliminate excessive industrial carbon emissions.
