HAYWARD, Calif. & FORT DODGE, Iowa--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Lygos, a sustainable specialty chemical company, announced today the signing of an MOU agreement with global fermentation and biotechnology leader, CJ BIO, to produce and deliver commercial volumes of high-performing, sustainable products to the market.

加利福尼亚州海沃德和爱荷华州道奇堡——（商业新闻短讯）——Lygos是一家可持续发展的特种化工公司，今天宣布与全球发酵和生物技术领导者CJ BIO签署谅解备忘录协议，生产并向市场交付大量高性能、可持续发展的产品。

As part of the partnership, Lygos will develop a commercial-scale biorefinery complex in Fort Dodge, Iowa, combining CJ BIO’s expertise in fermentation and biotechnology with Lygos’ advanced biology, chemistry and application development technologies for high-performing, sustainable solutions..

作为合作伙伴关系的一部分，Lygos将在爱荷华州道奇堡开发一个商业规模的生物精炼厂，将CJ BIO在发酵和生物技术方面的专业知识与Lygos的先进生物、化学和应用开发技术相结合，以实现高性能、可持续的解决方案。。

The biorefinery complex, a series of facilities that use sustainable feedstock to create high value chemicals and materials, will utilize infrastructure and capabilities from CJ’s existing site, and Lygos will develop additional facilities and downstream operations for the production of its products..

生物精炼厂是一系列利用可持续原料生产高价值化学品和材料的设施，将利用CJ现有场地的基础设施和能力，Lygos将开发额外的设施和下游业务以生产其产品。。

“CJ BIO has recently formed a precision fermentation CDMO (Contract Development & Manufacturing Organization) business to bring more bio-based solutions to market,” said Lance Choi, CEO of CJ BIO America. “Scaling up our existing CDMO partnership with Lygos to manufacture commercial quantities of their products will help us serve our mission to deliver innovative and sustainable products to large markets.”.

“CJ BIO最近成立了一家精密发酵CDMO（合同开发与制造组织）业务，将更多基于生物的解决方案推向市场，”CJ BIO America首席执行官Lance Choi表示。“扩大我们与Lygos现有的CDMO合作伙伴关系，生产商业数量的产品，将有助于我们履行向大型市场提供创新和可持续产品的使命。”。

“We’ve identified clear, higher performance value propositions with our customers, launched those products to the market, and are now pleased to be expanding our partnership with CJ to develop a biorefinery complex in Fort Dodge to commercially manufacture our products at a readily expandable facility,” said Eric Steen, Founder and CEO of Lygos.

Lygos创始人兼首席执行官埃里克·斯汀（EricSteen）表示：“我们已经与客户确定了明确、更高性能的价值主张，并将这些产品推向市场，现在很高兴与CJ扩大合作伙伴关系，在道奇堡开发一个生物精炼厂，以便在一个易于扩展的设施上商业化生产我们的产品。”。

“We’re looking forward to contributing to a community with a rich and growing history in biomanufacturing.”.

“我们期待着为一个拥有丰富且不断发展的生物制造历史的社区做出贡献。”。

The complex will be part of Iowa’s Crossroads of Global Innovation: an Ag-Industrial campus that fosters collaboration and growth within the biomanufacturing sector, located just west of Fort Dodge. The location features 100% renewable electricity, access to sustainable feedstock, and excellent logistics, making it an ideal location to build a biorefinery.

该综合设施将成为爱荷华州全球创新十字路口的一部分：这是一个Ag工业园区，位于道奇堡以西，促进生物制造业的合作与发展。该地区拥有100%的可再生电力，可获得可持续的原料，以及出色的物流，是建造生物精炼厂的理想地点。

CJ’s existing site is next to Cargill’s Fort Dodge Corn Mill, which will provide utilities and access to plant-derived sugar, a biobased feedstock that can be fermented into the key intermediates for Lygos’ products. Lygos is expected to employ up to 350 temporary workers during construction and create approximately 60 highly skilled jobs once the facility is fully operational..

CJ的现有场地紧邻嘉吉的道奇堡玉米厂，该厂将提供公用设施和植物来源的糖，植物来源的糖是一种生物基原料，可以发酵成Lygos产品的关键中间体。Lygos预计将在施工期间雇用多达350名临时工人，一旦设施全面运营，将创造大约60个高技能工作岗位。。

“CJ has been a valuable part of our community for over 12 years,” said Astra Ferris, CEO of Greater Fort Dodge Growth Alliance. “We are excited to welcome Lygos to Fort Dodge and look forward to working together as we continue to establish our city as an innovation hub for biomanufacturing.”

大道奇堡增长联盟首席执行官阿斯特拉·费里斯（AstraFerris）表示：“12年来，CJ一直是我们社区的重要组成部分。“我们很高兴欢迎Lygos来到道奇堡，并期待着在我们继续将我们的城市建设成为生物制造创新中心的过程中共同努力。”

Initially, the biorefinery will support the broad commercialization of Lygos’ flagship products, producing up to 40,000 MT/yr of Soltellus™ biodegradable polymers and Ecoteria™ biobased malonates with the potential to expand to 100,000 MT/yr. The partnership also contemplates an expansion to produce biobased aspartic acid and the launch of new biobased and biodegradable materials, providing Lygos’ business partners with additional solutions to improve overall performance and meet sustainability objectives..

最初，生物精炼厂将支持Lygos旗舰产品的广泛商业化，生产高达40000公吨/年的Soltellus™可生物降解聚合物和Ecoteria™生物基丙二酸盐，有可能扩大到100000公吨/年。该合作伙伴关系还考虑扩大生产生物基天冬氨酸，并推出新的生物基和可生物降解材料，为Lygos的业务合作伙伴提供额外的解决方案，以提高整体性能并实现可持续性目标。。

The biorefinery complex, in combination with the recently announced Sustainable Solutions Center in the San Francisco Bay Area, provides a fully integrated commercialization platform across the entire value chain, enabling Lygos to control the product development process from lab-scale to pilot-scale, to commercial production.

生物精炼厂联合最近在旧金山湾区宣布的可持续解决方案中心，为整个价值链提供了一个完全集成的商业化平台，使Lygos能够控制从实验室规模到中试规模再到商业生产的产品开发过程。

This allows Lygos to seamlessly partner with customers to cost effectively develop and scale high-performance products, accelerating the path to market..

这使Lygos能够与客户无缝合作，以经济高效的方式开发和扩展高性能产品，从而加快市场的步伐。。

“We’re pioneering a new business model for efficiently bringing sustainable solutions to market,” said Steen. “The biorefinery complex, combined with our unique Collaborate to Accelerate™ strategy, allows us to control the entire product development process from idea to R&D, to commercial delivery, helping us expand the scale of our flagship products while offering significant future value potential.”.

Steen说：“我们正在开创一种新的商业模式，以有效地将可持续解决方案带入市场。”。“生物精炼厂联合我们独特的Collaborate to Accelerate™战略，使我们能够控制从创意到研发再到商业交付的整个产品开发过程，帮助我们扩大旗舰产品的规模，同时提供巨大的未来价值潜力。”。

Lygos anticipates an 18-24 month construction period after groundbreaking.
