Genoverde Biosciences is organized around development and optimizations of its platform cell wall gene technologies using the latest tools in bioinformatics, molecular biology and plant genetics. Designed to improve lignocellulosic energy crops for the production of liquid fuels from plant sugars, the company's cell wall technology offers increased biomass yield by enhancing secondary cell wall thickness of dedicated, non-food bioenergy crops, enbaling farmers to increase revenue with increased wood density, resulting in high biomass material for conversion into bioenergy. With personnel of the firm in several locations in different states - to include MA, MD, NC - from study of plant growth at the genetic and cellular level the firm has developed capabilities to engineer crops for increased yield with no additional land, water, or fertilizer use requirements. Application of the firm's platform capability enables enhancement of a plants natural ability to capture carbon dioxide (CO2) and convert that energy towards increased biomass production. These production methods have relevance for application in various industries from Forest Products, Advanced Biofuels and Animal Feed and Production.
