Company Details
Neela Biotech leverages recent advances in synthetic biology and AI to produce scalable, carbon-negative jet fuel at low cost. ✈️ Demand for Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is growing rapidly, driven by global mandates and airlines net-zero commitments. Yet current SAF pathways struggle to scale due to high energy and CAPEX requirements. ? Our novel Controlled Microbial Upcycling process works with diverse feedstocks and builds on existing biogas plant and refinery infrastructure for rapid scale-up. ? We have recently secured a six-figure non-dilutive grant and were selected for a prestigious airline innovation program. ? Neela Biotech was awarded the first prize in the 2025 Climate Challenge for its innovative approach: https://www.cam.ac.uk/stories/climate-challenge-2025
