Newlight Technologies, Inc., founded in 2003, is a pioneering biotechnology company based in the United States. With the slogan "Harnessing nature's technology to help end climate change in this generation," the company develops advanced sustainable materials aimed at reducing environmental impact.
At the heart of Newlight's innovation is a proprietary biotechnological process that leverages oceanic microorganisms to transform greenhouse gases into a versatile, biocompatible material. This material, commercially known as Aircarbon, is used for producing fibers and solid parts, offering an eco-friendly alternative to synthetic plastics.
The company's achievements are noteworthy, with Aircarbon receiving accolades such as "Biomaterial of the Year" and the prestigious EPA Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge award.
Recently, Newlight secured a $125 million venture round investment from Oxy Low Carbon Ventures, GenZero, and Charter Next Generation, positioning it for significant growth in sustainability and manufacturing. The company continues to advance its mission through direct and licensed production strategies.
