Extended lead times, regulatory risk and impacts from geopolitical shifts.

Collaboration is the name of the game #2
It’s been lovely to head back to the IBioIC annual conference and meet with many of our close collaborators and friends within the biotech world.
Getting feedback and input from those that have ‘been there and done that’ is always invaluable and part of our strategy for moving so far so fast. This conference allows us to speak with many people we admire and we appreciate their support. The theme of this year's conference is collaboration!

Collaboration is the name of the game
We’re working with a fantastic company called Fermtech who produce Koji cocoa, which acts as a replacement for cocoa. We are testing brownies baked with our oil, to partially replace butter, and their Koji cocoa, to partially replace the cocoa, to see how they taste and what carbon savings that brings. Watch this space for the results!

A proud day at Sun Bear HQ
We’ve been nominated for the Earthshot Price by Carbon 13 and could not be happier! Inventing the future of fats and oils is often not especially glamorous, with a whole lot of very hard work behind the scenes to make progress so this feels very, very special. We’re crossing all of our fingers and toes for making it to the finals.
Our Sustainability Mission
Palm oil was the original inspiration for Sun Bear Biofuture. It is responsible for over 500 million tonnes of carbon annually and is the third most impactful food humans produce, after meat and dairy. It is a great ingredient and has unique properties that have helped its popularity explode. Now we need a commercially viable alternative to enable the growth coming from our population expansion to 10 billion by 2050.
