Currently, the center of the world's economic development is gradually shifting from reliance on fossil energy to sustainable development based on biomass energy. As a result, bio-based chemicals derived from biomass have become the center of research in various industries. CD BioSciences-GreenChemistry has long experience in green chemistry project design and project management and offers a complete line of bio-based chemicals for industries such as biochemistry.
Bio-based chemicals refer to chemicals that are manufactured in a biomanufacturing process using biomass as a feedstock. For example, bioalcohols are made by fermenting sugar obtained from organic waste; organic acids, alkanes, olefins, and other basic bio-based chemicals and sugar engineering products are prepared from biomass. Because of the ease of production, bio-based chemicals are more efficient than fossil fuel-based chemicals. In medicine, bio-based antibiotics and bio-based antiviral drugs have been noticeably beneficial. In the field of environmental protection, new materials like bio-based recyclable thermosetting epoxy resins are under active research that will transform environmental protection materials in the future.

Chemicals resulting from utilizing biological raw materials and other resources are generally referred to as biomass chemicals, and some common biomass chemicals include:
| Bio-based Chemical Names | Green Production Methods | Applications |
| Cellulosic ethanol | Enzymolysis and fermentation | Used to develop biofuels and renewable solvents. |
| Polylactic acid (PLA) | Fermentation and polymerization | For the development of degradable plastics and fibers. |
| Bio-based polyurethane | Bio-oil conversion | For the development of flexible foams, rigid foams, and coatings. |
| Agarose | Chemical extraction from seaweed | For the development of food additives. |
| Citric acid | Microbial fermentation | For the development of food and beverage acidifiers and detergents. |
Taking into account our ventures and achievements, we can highlight the fact that CD BioSciences-GreenChemistry has been a leading entity in developing green chemistry services, providing the requisite bio-based chemicals to our clients who are passionate about sustainability while offering an unmatched level of technology and innovation with our bespoke solutions business model. Our business model is centered upon providing eco-friendly and efficient production processes for chemical products from renewable resources enabling our clients to achieve green growth.
We use biomass such as vegetable oil, starch, or cellulose as raw material and natural enzymes or microorganisms as catalysts to produce specific bio-based chemicals. Throughout the production process, we adjust the reaction conditions such as temperature, pH, reaction time, etc. to achieve optimal reaction efficiency.
We utilize microbial fermentation technology to produce target chemicals from biomass such as plants, agricultural and forestry wastes, and other biomass as raw materials for production. After obtaining the crude products of the chemicals, we purify the target chemicals from the fermentation broth by extraction, distillation, or other green separation techniques.
We use green solvents such as water and ionic liquids, as well as non-toxic and recyclable green catalysts to produce bio-based chemicals. At the same time, we use process integration technology and microchannel reactors to improve reaction efficiency, reduce the generation of hazardous intermediates, and ensure safe and environmentally friendly reactions.
CD BioSciences-GreenChemistry is a company that specializes in green chemistry and provides advanced bio-based chemical production services to clients in need with strong technology and innovation. We ensure that our production process minimizes the impact on the environment and helps clients reach their sustainability goals. Our professional team is always ready to help you realize your green transformation, feel free to contact us for detailed solutions and support.
