Advanced Renewable Fuels - Clean, Sustainable, and Economical

Amyris set out to create a perfect renewable fuel. That’s why we formulate our fuels on the key components of petroleum fuels – hydrocarbons. Using our proprietary technology, we make Amyris fuels as efficient and eco-friendly as possible. Because they are hydrocarbon-based and compatible with existing engines, Amyris fuels bypass the challenges of current biofuels, such as ethanol and conventional biodiesel.

Amyris Renewable Diesel

The first Amyris fuel – a renewable diesel – is planned to be commercially available as early as 2010. Reducing CO2 emissions without compromising engine performance or price, Amyris diesel solves many of the performance challenges, such as cold flow and stability, associated with conventional biodiesels. Amyris renewable diesel works well even at low temperatures, does not clog filters, and can be stored for a long period of time without degradation. And because it’s made from sugarcane, our fuel production can scale dramatically and be produced at low costs.

Amyris Renewable Jet Fuel

We plan to commercialize a renewable jet fuel as early as 2012. A sustainable alternative to petroleum and coal-derived jet fuel, Amyris jet fuel is unlike other renewable jet fuel alternatives. It performs well at low temperatures, can be produced in the US at competitive economics using sugar cane as a feedstock, and meets initial certification criteria.
