Amyris

Amyris will receive unspecified support from the government of Queensland, Australia, to build a 23,000-metric-ton-per-year farnesene plant there, using local sugarcane.

Amyris has executed a multi-year extension to its collaboration agreement with Kuraray for the supply of Biofene (beta-farnesene) for use in liquid farnesene rubber and farnesene-based elastomer applications. The agreement includes increased farnesene supply and joint marketing.
