Project title: ENZYMATIC PRODUCTION OF BIODIESEL

Company name : TRANSBIODIESEL LTD.

TECHNOLOGICAL FIELD
Industrial Biotechnology,
Bio-energy, Renewable resources

KEY WORDS
Biodiesel, Immobilized
Lipases

PROJECT SUMMARY
Transbiodiesel Ltd. has patented technology on the use of unique
immobilized lipases for the production of biodiesel from
different oils, including plant oils, animal fats and recycled
greases.

The developed immobilized lipases are characterized with their
high resistance towards short-chain alcohols, typically used as
substrates in the production process of biodiesel. Also, the
developed immobilized lipases are recyclable and tolerate various
inhibitors typically present in raw materials. The developed
enzymatic process for production of biodiesel is economically
feasible and even competitive with the costs for the currently
practiced conventional chemically-catalyzed production process.
Further more, the production process is benign for the
environment and the by-product produced in the process, namely
glycerol, can be used for food and pharmaceutical applications
without excessive purification.

ENTREPRENEUR
Dr. Sobhi Basheer

PROJECT STATUS
Transbiodiesel was set up in May 2007 in L.N. Innovative
Technologies LTD. Currently, the company employs the Founder and
three chemical engineers.
The company has received seed money from the Ministry of Trade
and Industry and private investors and currently is seeking to
raise capital in order to complete the R&D and apply the
developed process at an industrial scale.

The company has achieved proof of concept of its new generation
enzymatic production method for biodiesel, and is moving forwards
to trials at semi-pilot scales.

COOPERATION REQUIRED
Strategic partnership with a corporate with marketing
infrastructure in the field.
