BioEnergy is a privately-held science and technology company focused on the development and commercialization of next generation biorefineries for the production of high-value bio-based chemicals and fuels from renewable feedstock.

Ethos was established in 2007 to produce low cost ethanol and related biofuels in the CAFTA, CBI and ATP regions of Central and South America as well as the CaribbeanBasin. Ethos, founded by GreatPoint Ventures and Khosla Ventures, is focused on leveraging partnerships with well-entrenched local groups in relevant agribusinesses to acquire underutilized sugar mills and sugarcane lands and to modernize them for biofuels production. As a project development company, Ethos aims to bring a dominant platform for low cost production of biofuels by combining best of breed partners, an advanced technology portfolio and experienced founders with a track record of building successful alternative energy businesses.

Viridos is dedicated to developing and commercializing genomic-driven solutions to address global energy and environmental challenges. The company's main research and business programs are focused on the following major bioenergy areas: designing advanced biofuels with superior properties compared to ethanol and biodiesel; harnessing photosynthetic organisms to produce value-added products directly from sunlight and carbon dioxide; developing new biological solutions to increase production and/or recovery rates of subsurface hydrocarbons and developing high-yielding, more disease resistant and economic feedstocks. It was founded in 2005 and is based in La Jolla, California.

CHEMREC gasification technology - turns pulp and paper mills into biorefineries.nCHEMREC is helping pulp and paper mills transform into Biorefineries with a unique, black liquor gasification technology. Opening up new markets in sustainable, low-carbon chemicals and fuels will be a step-change in the industry.nFull implementation of the Chemrec technology in all Swedish pulp mills would yield about 6 000 000 tons of CO2 reduction per year or roughly 10 % of current Swedish CO2 emissions while supplying 25 % of current Swedish automotive fuel consumption.nThe technology has potential to globally provide motor fuels equivalent to over 45 billion litres/year of gasoline (12 billion gallons/year).

EnerSight Fuels, Inc. aims to provide standards-compliant biodiesel fuel to fleet operators and end-users in North Alabama and Southern Tennessee.

Evolutionary Genomics (EG) is a biotechnology company focusing on how relevant gene/target discovery and validation is performed during the post-genomics era. The company's Adapted Traits platform sifts through vast amounts of genomic data to identify only those genes that have a high likelihood of commercial value for downstream validation. EG applies this platform to identify high-value targets for drug-discovery or genes for use in natural crop yield or pest/disease-resistance enhancement.
