Tyton BioSciences The Vision Our Approach

Tyton BioSciences

Tyton BioSciences makes great biofuel feedstock. Our new genetically modified tobacco can make both ethanol and biodiesel from the same plant at higher yields per acre than most other sustainable fuel crops – especially corn and soy.
The Vision

Tyton BioSciences aims to revolutionize the sustainable fuel space with a new tobacco-based feedstock that is net energy positive, economical, a non-food stuff and provides a higher yield per acre for both ethanol and biodiesel compared to most other sustainable fuel crops.
Our Approach

Tyton’s patent-pending technology offers two unique features for biofuel technology. First, it creates a feedstock that simultaneously can be used for 2 different fuel types: ethanol and biodiesel. Secondly, it’s the first biodiesel feed crop that harvests oil from the green biomass (leaves and stems) vs. traditional seed-pressing techniques for plant oil.

The Vision

Tyton BioSciences aims to revolutionize the sustainable fuel space with a new tobacco-based feedstock that is net energy positive, economical, a non-food stuff and provides a higher yield per acre for both ethanol and biodiesel compared to most other sustainable fuel crops.

With this technology, our vision is to develop a new ecosystem for tobacco for the production of both biodiesel and ethanol from the same plant. Our seeds could reinvigorate the traditional domestic American tobacco growing regions and beyond with a new form of tobacco crop. Tyton’s technology could serve as a gateway between rural America and the traditional energy sector by providing new sustainable sources for ethanol and diesel.
