Myriant

United Statesmyriant.com

Myriant is a U.S.-based renewable chemicals company that develops and produces bio-based organic acids and related intermediates via industrial fermentation. The company is best known for commercializing bio-succinic acid, a drop-in alternative to petroleum-derived succinic acid used across polymers, resins, plasticizers, coatings, and solvents.

Myriant’s process combines engineered microorganisms, sugar- and biomass-derived feedstocks, and downstream purification to deliver high-purity chemicals suited for existing value chains and for derivatives such as 1,4-butanediol and polybutylene succinate. By shifting from fossil to renewable carbon, its products are designed to offer reduced lifecycle greenhouse-gas emissions while meeting conventional specifications. Myriant works with industry partners to scale and deploy its technology for commercial production.
