Genencor Biotechnology


Our Core Competency:
  We design and operate Cell Factories

   – We rapidly create engineered proteins that accomplish the previously
     impossible and deliver significant value to our most important
     customers.

   – We engineer the metabolic pathways of micro-organisms to produce
     enzymes, proteins, and other bio-molecules at industrial scale and
     economics.

Biorefinery:




    “A biorefinery is a facility that converts waste
    biomass into fuels, power, and chemicals.

    The biorefinery concept is analogous to today's
    petroleum refineries, which produce multiple fuels
    and products from petroleum.”
    - DOE 2008, Biomass Program

Genencor®: on the Road to
Sustainable Biorefineries

The biobased economy is here and its growing
• ~5-10% of chemicals will be bio-based by 2012
  (McKinsey 2006)
High oil prices and environmental concerns are key
factors fueling the biobased economy
Innovations in enzyme processing are enabling the
development of sustainable integrated systems for
biomass processing to fermentable sugars
New business models / Strategic relationships and
Technology Integrators will speed Biorefinery
development
Biobased processes will continue to deliver Strategic
alternatives to petrochemicals




                                                        24
Our Vision of the Biobased Economy


  We envision a future where biotechnology
  fulfills many unmet needs…
      In development and deployment of
        industrial enzymes
      In the production of fuels, chemicals and
        materials

  We envision a future where biotechnology
  helps create sustainable industrial
  activities

  We envision a future where biorefineries
  take their place alongside oil refineries

  We aspire to be recognized as a leader in
  world-changing technology solutions.
