The processes developed by Global Bioenergies are based on the design of artificial metabolic pathways composed of several enzymes that catalyze previously undescribed reactions. This new approach is a breakthrough innovation which opens new perspectives in the field of biomaterials and biofuels. For centuries, a range of industrial processes have been based on the use of naturally occurring microorganisms to produce key molecules. For instance, brewer’s yeast is used to convert sugars into ethanol, and fungi are used to produce antibiotics. However, those examples of natural organisms able to produce a substance at a yield compatible with direct industrial applications remain exceptions. Micro-organisms do produce a variety of industrially relevant substances, but usually at a yield far too low to be used commercially.

The company exploits a constantly evolving portfolio of patents that protects the various aspects of the processes under development. Some patent applications have already been published. Additional complementary patent applications are continuously being filed; they concern the design of the whole metabolic pathway, its improvements, and parallel pathways leading to the synthesis of other hydrocarbons as well as specific steps of the process. The Company holds exclusive rights on this entire portfolio of patents that are either owned by the Company, or by Philippe Marlière through his holding Scientist of Fortune, or co-owned by Scientist of Fortune and Global Bioenergies. In the two latter instances, license agreements that control the transfer of exclusive exploitation rights to Global Bioenergies are in place.
