A colony of tiny engineers

Our fermentation platform turns methane into high value co-products.

It starts with the microbes.

A naturally occurring, heat-loving (thermophilic) multiple methanotrophs (methane-consumer), isolated from the arid soils of California.

Natural organism

Non-genetically modified organism (non-GMO), isolated from California's arid soils.

Good for ecosystems

It strengthens soil microbial diversity and ecological balance.

Consumes methane

It methbolized methane, a single carbon molecule (C1 - that is how we got our name!), grows in mass, and we use it to extract beneficial compounds for products.

Built for extremes

It is a heat-loving (themophilic) microbe that learned to survive in up to 60 degrees C by producing molecules, includling melanin and exopolysaccharides, that allowed it to withstand heat, drought, and radiation.

Built for extremes

From methane to high-value products.

Methane is clean, energy packed carbon. Our microbes convert its power into products that revive soil and skin.

C1 Melanin + Soil Enhancer

Capture the methane

Unlike other fermentation systems based on sugars and yeast, C1iN technology does not compete for arable land for feedstock production.

Biogas from anaerobic digesters, dairies and landfills

Stranded and waste gas, captured instead of burned

Ferment it

Fermentation is the process through which microbes break down carbon as its main energy source to grow and produce beneficial byproducts.

Gas fermentation, feeding microbes gas instead of sugar

Validated scale-up, from 5-litre flasks to industrial fermenters
