Virent products

Air travel has changed our world for the better, enabling settlement of communities, fueling commerce, facilitating the exchange of goods and fostering relationships that could not have existed for previous generations. While air travel makes our world a smaller and better place, there are environmental costs associated with the energy needed for flight as a result of greenhouse gas (GHG) and particulate matter (PM) emissions. Virent’s SAF can help the aviation industry address these challenges by enabling a 100% ‘drop-in’ SAF with lower lifecycle GHG and lower PM emissions.

Virent’s patented technology enables the production of gasoline from bio-based feedstocks. Our BioForming^® process produces the key aromatic molecules and paraffins that are the building blocks of gasoline. Our technology can use a wide variety of both cellulosic and conventional plant sugars, enabling production of a sustainable biogasoline that is similar to its existing petroleum-derived counterpart, as shown in the molecular fingerprints below.
