Kalion is an early stage industrial biotech company that will transform the traditional chemical industry by providing low-cost access to glucaric acid and S-3-hydroxybutyrolactone (3-HBL) using traditional, green, fermentation technology. Glucaric acid and 3-HBL were identified as “Top Value Added Chemicals from Biomass” and multi-billion dollar markets for use of the two chemicals are limited by cost and availability (2004 DOE report).
