View company profile

Solugen is a pioneering biotechnology and specialty chemicals manufacturing company with a mission to decarbonize the chemicals industry. Founded in 2016 and headquartered in Houston, Texas, the company is revolutionizing the production of essential materials by replacing petroleum-based products with sustainable, plant-derived alternatives. Solugen's core innovation is the 'Bioforge,' the world's first carbon-negative molecule factory. This proprietary platform harnesses the power of bio-engineered enzymes and metal catalysts to convert renewable feedstocks, such as corn syrup, into high-performance chemicals with minimal emissions and waste. This chemienzymatic process is not only more environmentally friendly but also more cost-effective and scalable than traditional chemical manufacturing methods that have been in place for decades.

The company's technology was born from the unique intersection of medical research and chemical engineering. Co-founder Dr. Gaurab Chakrabarti, a physician-scientist, discovered a novel enzymatic process while studying pancreatic cancer, and co-founder Sean Hunt, a chemical engineer from MIT, developed the catalytic processes to scale it. Together, they have built a company that addresses critical needs across a wide array of industries, including water treatment, agriculture, energy, personal care, and construction. Solugen's product portfolio includes bio-based solutions that serve as biocides, oxidants, scale inhibitors, and chelants. By offering drop-in replacements for legacy chemicals and co-developing custom solutions, Solugen is enabling its customers to reduce their carbon footprint, enhance performance, and strengthen their supply chains with American-made products. The company has garnered significant investment from prominent venture capital firms and is rapidly expanding its manufacturing capabilities to meet growing global demand for sustainable chemistry.
