February's Bank of America Securities EMEA Private Innovators Conference saw industry leaders gather to address key challenges in the so-called ‘energy trilemma’, a trio of often conflicting core objectives: energy security, energy equity, and environmental sustainability.
Our CEO Professor Andrew Hopkins focused on a critical area "Taking Future Molecules to Market - Low-Carbon Fuels & Gases" moderated by BofA’s Co-Head of Global Energy Investment Banking, James Sleeman.
We want people to understand how innovative companies such as Xyme can unlock the fuels of the future at sufficient scale.
The discussion reinforced a shared reality across sustainable fuels: new technology is needed to solve the feedstock issue and send sustainable fuels into the mainstream. Whilst HEFA (Hydroprocessed Esters and Fatty Acids) serve as today's workhorse for SAF production, the industry cannot scale on fats, oils and greases alone. The arithmetic simply does not support emission reduction or net-zero commitments for aviation and other industries without fundamentally new chemistry.
At Xyme we're applying a new, physics infused, breed of AI to overcome bottlenecks - designing enzymes that unlock new feedstocks, operate at ambient or lower intensity conditions, and integrate directly into existing refinery infrastructure.
