Anodyne Chemistries
Manou Davies, Chief Scientific Officer 
Sustainable Chemicals by Design

Anodyne combines synthetic biology with electrochemistry, to bring a new generation of AI enabled chemical processing opportunities to chemical manufactures globally. Carbon isn’t just the building block of life, it’s the building block of the chemicals, materials and fuels that make up our modern world. The problem is many industrial processes vent CO2 into the air, wasting a valuable resource and wreaking environmental havoc. Carbon utilization fundamentally changes this paradigm by transforming CO2 from a liability, into an asset. Our breakthrough technology allows us to put CO2 to work by converting it into essential products for a climate positive future.
