Amyris {{NASDAQ|AMRS}} is a science and technology leader in the research, development and production of pure, sustainable ingredients for the Health & Wellness, Clean Beauty and Flavors & Fragrances markets. Amyris applies its exclusive, advanced technology, including state-of-the-art machine learning, robotics and artificial intelligence to engineer yeast, that when combined with sugarcane syrup through fermentation, is converted to highly pure molecules for specialty ingredients. Amyris manufactures sustainably-sourced ingredients at industrial scale for B2B partners and further distribution to 2,000 of the world’s top brands, reaching more than 200 million consumers. Amyris stands by its No Compromise™ promise that everything it makes is sustainably sourced, performs better, costs less, has higher purity and is better for people and the planet than products made with existing processes. Amyris also owns Biossance – the fastest-growing, clean skincare brand in the US that delivers No Compromise™ beauty. More information about the company is available at www.amyris.com

The company went public on NASDAQ in October 2010 (AMRS) but as of January 2013, was trading at less than 30% of its initial offering price due to lack of commercial success in cost-effectively producing "drop in" synthetic transportation fuel, which was to be its initial, major focus. The firm has now focused its attention on higher-priced and higher-margin products that are not in the transportation fuel area [1]

Renewable fuels

Amyris' technology platform, branded "No Compromise," is focused on providing high performance petroleum-alternatives, using sustainable feedstock such as sugarcane.

Amyris is establishing the partnerships and capabilities needed to bring the renewable diesel fuel to market. A few of these actions include:

  • distributing ethanol through a US subsidiary, Amyris Fuels, based in Chicago IL.
  • building a large scale production facility at Sao Martino, one of Brazil's largest ethanol producers
  • joint venture with Cosan, one of Brazil's largest ethanol distributors and marketers

Artemisinin

Artemisinin is a compound naturally found in the Chinese Sweet Wormwood plant effective in the treatment of malaria. Its production is hampered by difficult climate and agricultural conditions. Institute for OneWorld Health received a grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to develop and produce non-seasonal, high-quality, affordable artemisinin, and engaged Amyris Biotechnologies and Sanofi to assist on certain parts of the project, which is near completion, based on technology from UC Berkeley, NRC Canada, and other sources.
