Intern season is in full force! Our new summer cohort is bringing fresh perspectives and innovative ideas to our engineering, research & development, business operations, biology, and chemistry departments. We look forward to the contributions they'll make as we continue to revolutionize chemical manufacturing.

This week, Solugen had the honor of participating in a series of roundtable discussions at the White House. The event celebrated the achievements of President Biden's Executive Order on Advancing Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing Innovation and highlighted Solugen’s recent conditional loan guarantee from the DOE as the single largest U.S. government investment in bioindustrial manufacturing since the Order was signed. Our CTO, Sean Hunt, emphasized the importance of eliminating regulatory bottlenecks and increasing financial support beyond R&D to close gaps in the U.S. biomanufacturing ecosystem. We also had the opportunity to announce a new federal award from the American Center for Manufacturing & Innovation and Leidos through the Department of Defense’s Office of Industrial Base Policy to validate our novel, low-carbon manufacturing platform for benzylamine production. At Solugen, we are proud to be at the forefront of building a sustainable, domestic bioeconomy. Thank you to the DOE, our strategic partners Sasol Chemicals and ADM, and the White House for this incredible honor and opportunity.

Solugen CEO Gaurab Chakrabarti joins host Victoria Meyer on The Chemical Show Podcast this week. Victoria and Gaurab discuss key strategies for transforming the chemical industry, exploring the importance of local supply chains, circular feedstock, and efficient processes.

💧📈💰 A produced water treater was able to increase throughput by 30% in a recent field trial using Verza360. They were facing a challenge: the incoming water variability and solids content were affecting water quality and throughput. After adding Verza360, they saw a boost in flocculation performance and improved overall water clarity and quality with fewer settled solids. Using Verza360 as a drop-in with existing chemistries (like hydrogen peroxide, iron chloride, and polyacrylamide) enabled a more steady-state operation with increased capacity to treat and profit from more incoming water. Check out our latest blog, featuring the overall impact of using Verza360 in this trial below 👇. https://bit.ly/3VxWxKL #oilandgas #producedwaterrecycling

💰 Using Verza360 for biocide potentiation saved one customer about $2 million annually but also cut H2S scavenger use by 85%. Curious to learn more?

A look back at our Bioforge Marshall groundbreaking in April! 👷♂️ Solugen leadership was joined by government officials, business leaders, and community partners to officially break ground on our new 500,000 sf biomanufacturing facility in Marshall, Minn. In support of the project, Solugen has received conditional commitment for a $214M loan guarantee from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development also awarded the project $760K in financial incentives from the department's Job Creation Fund, and an additional $15M from the Minnesota Forward Fund. A special thank you to the City of Marshall for helping us pull off an epic event, and for their invaluable support as we expand our footprint.

Solugen has received conditional commitment for the largest government investment in bio industrial manufacturing to date! This achievement follows nearly two years of thorough technical and commercial due diligence with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). It underscores the critical role our pioneering technology platform will play in scaling domestic biomanufacturing. But the journey isn’t over yet. Let’s reflect on the hard work and perseverance that got us here… 

📰 Breaking News! Solugen has secured conditional commitment for a $213.6M loan guarantee from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Loan Programs Office. This financing will support the construction of Bioforge Marshall, our new 500,000 square-foot biomanufacturing facility in Southwest Minnesota. The announcement marks a pivotal milestone in our scale-up journey and a landmark move for American industry. Solugen has now unlocked a critical step in executing our vision to deploy a domestic manufacturing network that brings sustainable solutions to market. We’re thrilled to join an elite group of impactful companies catalyzed by this DOE loan program. Of the companies that have reached this prestigious milestone, only 14 have been startups. Among these, Solugen is the first to successfully scale sustainable chemical manufacturing with our pioneering chemienzymatic technology. As we enter this next phase of growth, we look forward to continuing this important work alongside our customers, strategic partners, and investors.
