EnzymoCore
Enzymatic Solutions for the Bio-energy and the Functional Food Industries
Company Overview
Snapshot
Founded in May 2007 by Sobhi Basheer, EnzymoCore operates with 1–10 employees. The company has raised a total of $16.88 million across 16 funding rounds and has received grants from entities including EU Horizon 2020 and the Israel Innovation Authority in January 2019.
Business overview
EnzymoCore specializes in developing immobilized enzyme-based biocatalysts for the production of second- and third-generation biodiesel fuels, adhering to ASTM and EN standards. The company's technology converts low-grade feedstocks, such as waste fish and algal oils, into high-quality omega-3 concentrates and biodiesel. This innovation aims to reduce biodiesel production costs and enhance environmental sustainability by utilizing waste and decreasing CO2 emissions. EnzymoCore operates within the Energy Tech sector, focusing on clean energy generation and sustainable materials.
Strategic signal
In November 2014, Appalachian Biofuels announced plans to construct a plant utilizing TransBiodiesel (now EnzymoCore) enzymes. This development signals a significant commercial validation of EnzymoCore's immobilized enzyme technology, demonstrating its potential for industrial-scale application in biofuel production and reinforcing its role in advancing sustainable energy solutions.
