— Our Mission
At Solugen, we believe that planet-scale change starts at the molecular level. Harnessing the power of biology and chemistry, we are reimagining how life’s essential materials are manufactured — with the world’s first sustainable chemical plant. By bringing high-performing, cost-competitive, sustainable products to market, we aim to combat climate change, spur economic growth, and bolster domestic manufacturing.
EXPLORE SOLUTIONS →Dextrose, water, and compressed air flow into our enzyme oxidation reactors where engineered biocatalysts begin continuous conversion. No high-pressure chemistry. No precious metals. Just biology, running at industrial scale.
Solugen pairs proprietary metal catalysis with our bio-derived intermediates to produce high-performance specialty chemicals at a fraction of the footprint and cost of legacy plants.
Every Solugen plant is a modular forge — engineered, fabricated, and shipped as a complete unit. Deploy in months, not years. Locate next to demand, not next to a feedstock pipeline.
Socratic problem assessment. Value-in-use analysis. Rapid scale-up. Ongoing technical services. We start from the molecule and back into a forge designed for your mission.
— Our Key Capabilities
Our problem assessment lets production lead directly into requirements — from a customer mission to a molecule in production.
Continuous distillation. Modular columns. Quiet operation. The forge runs itself.
Molecule is a solution. Our demand-driven model helps output and accelerate chemical products that are proven out the gate.

Our process starts with simple, abundant, and inexpensive bio-based feedstocks. Dextrose, water, and compressed air are continuously pumped into our enzyme oxidation reactor where our engineered enzymes begin the conversion process.

— Who We Are
Gaurab is the co-founder and CEO of Solugen. As a physician-scientist, Gaurab took an oath to first do no harm — and for him, that goes beyond patients or medicine. So in 2016, he started Solugen to decarbonize the chemicals industry, one of the most damaging for people and the Earth. Gaurab believes in using biology in unconventional ways to solve incredibly complex problems and is building a world-class team to join him on the journey.
