The use of genetically engineered strains to biomanufacture chemicals enables direct CO2-to-product systems with vastly superior environmental sustainability (reduced GHGe) and synthesisof isomer(s) with a purity not achieved by traditional chemistry. However, the engineering andoptimization of microbial bioproduction strains (essential components in the development ofbiological manufacturing systems) is time-consuming and costly. Coupled with the uncertainty ofbiological engineering, this leads to higher risk and a lower appetite for investment, makingcommercialisation challenging. To enable SynBio to make a meaningful contribution to theenormous fossil fuel problem, we propose to first commence with higher value beachhead targetproducts and solve current bottlenecks to developing viable solutions.
