Application

Fermentation is a core platform technology driving innovation in the biofuel industry and broader bio-based economy. As knowledge and technologies evolve rapidly, the scope for breakthrough applications continues to expand. Yet, translating these innovations into industrial reality requires specialised expertise and scalable solutions. By aligning your technical ambitions with our deep fermentation expertise, we enable collaborative development, scale-up, and deployment of robust, market ready biofuel processes.

Product development begins with our own culture collection but we also have access to, and work with, a range of global technical partners. We believe that open collaboration is essential for ensuring AB Biotek can offer our customers solutions faster and more effectively to meet the pace of changes in market demand that exists today.

Advanced Technologies for High-Performance Bioethanol

Our bioethanol solutions are built on state-of-the-art technologies designed to maximise fermentation efficiency, robustness, and yield. Each of our products consists of high-quality yeast, engineered to perform under demanding industrial conditions.

We recognise that no two production environments are the same. That’s why we focus on creating yeast strains with tailored characteristics, enabling optimal performance across a wide range of feedstocks, process conditions, and regional market requirements.

Tailored Yeast Strains for Every Market

We combine deep biological expertise with advanced strain development techniques to design yeasts that meet specific customer needs.

Our strains are not “one-size-fits-all.” Each is carefully designed to align with the operational realities of our customers, because we understand both the science and the markets we serve. Our approach includes:

Developing new yeast strains for improved ethanol yield, stress tolerance, and process efficiency

Tailoring strain characteristics to match different industrial applications and market demands

Enhancing robustness to perform under variable fermentation conditions
