The world is facing a triple challenge: decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors like aviation and heavy industry, overcoming feedstock shortages for biofuels, and transforming agriculture to be more sustainable and resilient. Traditional solutions like electrification or crop-based biofuels can’t scale fast enough or without serious environmental trade-offs.
Cemvita is pioneering a new path. Our breakthrough platform transforms industrial carbon waste into bio-based oil and regenerative fertilizer without using farmland, disrupting food systems, or depleting water resources.
Our Solution: Circular Biomanufacturing at Industrial Scale
Cemvita’s proprietary platform unlocks the power of engineered microbes to convert low-value byproducts like glycerol, molasses, dairy waste, and biogenic CO₂ into two high-impact products:
FermOil™ A next-generation, drop-in bio-oil for Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and renewable chemicals.
1. Compatible with HEFA, the only fully commercial SAF route available today 2. Produced using 99% less land and 90% less water than seed oils like soy or palm 3. Delivers ultra-low carbon intensity (0.23 kg CO₂e/kg vs. up to 9.8 for soybean oil in Brazil) 4. Ready for industrial scale: Our first plant (FermWorks™) in Brazil will produce 250 barrels per day
FermNPK™ A nutrient-rich biomass and biofertilizer derived from the same process.
1. Regenerates soil health and microbial diversity 2. Reduces dependency on synthetic inputs 3. Supports food and climate security with nature-positive outcomes
This dual-output model ensures that every molecule of carbon goes further, supporting both clean fuel and healthy soil.
Our first deployment of FermWorks™ in Brazil proves that economic and environmental performance can go hand in hand paving the way from net zero to nature positive.
What Makes Us Unique
Modular & Scalable – Our platform is designed for rapid deployment, using standard infrastructure and proven equipment.
Feedstock Flexibility – We can process multiple carbon-rich wastes, adapting to local supply chains and minimizing risk.
Drop-in Compatibility – FermOil™ is fully compatible with today’s SAF infrastructure, making it viable now not in 10 years.
Validated by Industry – Backed by off-take agreements and global partnerships that prove both performance and profitability.
Multi-Revenue Streams – Our circular model enables income from SAF, fertilizer, carbon and biodiversity credits, and more.
SustainabilityBuilt for Incentives. Backed by Impact.
Cemvita’s sustainability program is aligned with the planetary boundaries framework, ensuring our operations stay within safe environmental limits. We outperform conventional alternatives across every sustainability dimension:
Carbon Intensity: FermOil™ has a CI of just 0.23 kg CO₂e/kg, significantly lower than soybean oil (up to 9.8 kg in Brazil) or palm oil.
Water Use: Our closed-loop bioreactors recycle over 95% of water, compared to 7,000L/kg for soybean oil and over 17,000L/kg for olive oil.
Land Use & Biodiversity: No deforestation. No land conversion. FermOil™ is produced in contained systems, preserving ecosystems and earning biodiversity credits via eDNA monitoring.
Soil Regeneration: FermNPK™ not only replaces synthetic fertilizers it rebuilds organic carbon, enhances microbial diversity, and improves long-term soil health.
Finance-Ready: Our low-carbon, nature-positive model qualifies for LCFS credits, carbon and biodiversity markets, and ESG-linked financing, including green bonds and sustainability loans. Cemvita isn’t just reducing harm, we’re creating measurable, regenerative benefits for people, industry, and planet.
