Company Overview
Snapshot
Founded in May 2007 by Sobhi Basheer, EnzymoCore operates with 1–10 employees. The company has secured $16.88 million in total capital across 16 funding rounds from 4 investors. In January 2019, EnzymoCore received a grant from EU Horizon 2020 and Israel Innovation Authority.
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. Its core technology, protected by six US patents, enables the conversion of low-grade feedstocks such as waste fish and algal oils into high-quality omega-3 concentrates and biodiesel. This innovation reduces biodiesel production costs and promotes environmental sustainability by turning waste into biofuel, thereby decreasing CO2 emissions and energy consumption. The company operates within the Energy Tech sector, focusing on clean energy generation and sustainable materials, serving markets in countries like South Korea, Germany, and China.
Strategic signal
In November 2014, Appalachian Biofuels announced plans to construct a plant utilizing TransBiodiesel enzymes, highlighting the commercial viability and industry adoption of EnzymoCore's immobilized enzyme technology. This development signals a significant step towards scaling the production of sustainable biodiesel and validates the company's innovative approach to converting low-grade feedstocks into high-value energy products.
