Funding Supports Project to Optimize and Scale Up Isobutanol Production to Address Potential
Monrovia, CA, Oct. 11, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Invizyne Technologies, Inc., a leading designer of enzyme-based biomanufacturing systems – and a “Big Idea” company from MDB Capital Holdings, LLC, (NASDAQ:MDBH) ("MDB") – today announced it received an additional
“With our patented SimplePath™ technology platform, we developed a new way to make valuable chemicals from plant-based energy sources, thereby reducing the pollution associated with traditional production methods. This includes isobutanol, which is an industrial chemical with potential to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, especially when used as aviation fuel,” said Mo Hayat, CEO of Invizyne.

The global sustainable aviation fuel market is expected to grow at a compound annual rate of
Hayat concluded, “Most people considered Invizyne’s approach to produce chemicals outside of living cells near impossible until we invented it. The continued funding from the DOE further demonstrates the potential for our disruptive platform to create vital fuels and chemicals at commercially viable prices that have not been possible with traditional cell-based synthetic biology. I look forward to the successful completion of this project, as it will also enable the company to expand beyond isobutanol to replace various other petroleum-based products.”
About Invizyne Technologies, Inc.
Invizyne is an enzyme-based biomanufacturing technology company headquartered in Monrovia, California. The company specializes in designing enzymes and building truly cell-free enzymatic pathways that can run continuously and unassisted outside of living cells, therefore avoiding many of the problems other synthetic biology companies run into when trying to scale cell-based or immobilized biomanufacturing technologies. With a vision to enable a new generation of natural resources, we believe Invizyne's enzyme design capabilities, coupled with its patent protected biomanufacturing technology platform, position the company to drive positive change in the biofuels industry and many other industries that are looking for greener and better manufacturing technologies.
