"In just the past decade, the economics of bioproduction and value of bioproducts have become increasingly attractive, thanks to technology developments. Yet far greater improvements are on the horizon."

Market and Products


Solazyme's product development activities are focused on multi-billion dollar markets including energy (fuels), industrial chemicals and specialty ingredients for cosmetic, nutritional and pharmaceutical markets.

With Solazyme's rapid, highly flexible, and proprietary screening-based directed evolution technologies we are capable of improving single proteins, single metabolic pathways, and even whole cellular systems in their efficacy and productivity. In order to capitalize on this, Solazyme has selected specific areas within the target markets where its proprietary technologies provide opportunities for creating a sustainable unfair advantage over competitors that will result in value creation for Solazyme and its strategic partners and customers.
