Company
Phase Biolabs
Carbon negative chemicals from CO2 fermentation
We make carbon negative solvents and electro-fuels by fermenting carbon dioxide. Our process captures CO2 and converts it biologically into chemicals that industries use, replacing fossil-based equivalents with lower climate impact.
We live in Nottingham, England, United Kingdom, and plan to keep the company based here after YC.
We chose Nottingham because the local ecosystem supports our industrial biotech development, and it allows us to focus without relocating away from our existing network and facilities.
