Bioataraxis ltd is a new spin-out company from Imperial College. The company is developing a new chemical technology called Ecosaf to produce new bio-based surfactants called SAF for various applications (cleaning, lubricants, paints, agriculture, etc.), with a focus on cleaning products. The aim is to break the surfactant industry's dependence on fossil fuels and provide new green credentials in this sector, enabling a reduction in CO2 emissions. The process consists of converting agricultural waste products into SAF in a four-step process. The process is fully dependent on renewable feedstocks and the scalability of the process was demonstrated in only 9 months of development at TRL 6\.In this project, Bioataraxis will take various measures to strengthen its commercial and financial position by taking advantage of the high TRL of the technology achieved so far and its environmental sustainability. Indeed, SAF has been shown to deliver a unique cleaning performance comparable to the fossil fuels analogues. Compared to all other conventional surfactants currently on the market, SAF's performance in hard water is superior and CO2 emissions are reduced by 70%. With this project, Bioataraxis aims to reveal the commercial potential of SAF and prepare the next round of investment to continue scale-up trials and apply for REACH registration. To fulfil these activities, the grant will support:1)Reach surfactant users and establish collaborative product evaluation to implement SAF in their portfolio;2)Set the basis for the next investment round to raise £ 8 millions to proceed with REACH registration and continue scale-up trials to improve the SAF's production process;3)Perform an LCA to evaluate the effect in valorising biochar as side product from the processing of the raw material and seek conditions to increase the CO2 reduction over 70 % and claim carbon negativity.SAF's credentials are unique in this sector and have the potential to transform the market and set new performance and sustainability standards for household care products. However, regulatory approvals and the construction of the large-scale plant require large amounts of capital and a long timeframe. With this funding, we will accelerate this process and hope that SAF will soon be found in all our home care products.

Bioataraxis Ltd是一家来自帝国大学的新纺纱公司。该公司正在开发一种名为EcoSAF的新化学技术，以生产新的生物表面活性剂，称为SAF，用于各种应用（清洁，润滑剂，油漆，农业等），重点是清洁产品。目的是打破表面活性剂行业对化石燃料的依赖，并在该领域提供新的绿色证书，从而减少CO2排放。该过程包括在四步过程中将农业废物转换为SAF。该过程完全取决于可再生原料，并且在TRL 6 \的开发中仅证明了这一过程的可伸缩性。在该项目中，生物体系将采取各种措施来增强其商业和财务位置，并利用迄今为止在迄今为止获得的高度TRL及其环境可持续性。确实，SAF已被证明可以提供与化石燃料类似物相当的独特清洁性能。与目前市场上所有其他常规环境相比，SAF在硬水中的性能优越，二氧化碳排放量减少了70％。通过该项目，Biotaraxis旨在揭示SAF的商业潜力，并准备下一轮投资，以继续进行扩大试验并申请登记。要履行这些活动，赠款将支持：1）访问表面活性剂用户并建立协作产品评估以在其投资组合中实施SAF； 2）为下一轮投资的基础设定了800万英镑的基础，以继续进行登记并继续进行扩展试验，以提高SAF的生产过程； 3）在valor valor co的范围内效应，以提高量子的效果，并在valor valor co的范围内进行效应，并在valor valor的材料中效应，并在范围内效应，并在范围内进行效应，并在范围内构建了材料，并在范围内进行了效果，并将其定为综合，并构成了该材料的效果。索赔碳负negations.saf的证书在该领域是独一无二的，并且有可能改变市场并为家庭护理产品树立新的绩效和可持续性标准。但是，监管部门的批准和大规模工厂的建设需要大量的资本和长时间的时间。有了这笔资金，我们将加快这一过程，并希望很快在我们所有的家庭护理产品中找到SAF。
