We began industrial-scale production of our products at contract manufacturing
facilities in 2011 and, in December 2012, commenced operations at our first purpose-built,
large-scale production facility in southeastern Brazil. This multi-product production
facility, located in Brotas, in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, is adjacent
to an existing sugar and ethanol mill operated by Tonon Bioenergia SA (Tonon),
formerly known as Paraíso Bioenergia. Through 2016, we produced farnesene
and two ingredients for the F&F industry at commercial scale at such facility.
Under our manufacturing agreement, Tonon supplies sugarcane syrup and certain
utilities. Amyris is solely responsible for maintenance and operation of our plant.
Our Brotas facility has six 200,000 liter production fermenters and was designed
to process sugarcane juice and syrup, or their equivalent, from up to one million
tons of raw sugarcane annually. In December 2012, we began production of farnesene
at this facility.
For many of our products, we perform additional distillation or chemical finishing
steps to convert initial target molecules into other finished products, such as
renewable squalane, F&F ingredients, lubricants, performance polymers and
diesel. We have agreements with several facilities in the U.S. and Brazil to perform
distillation, filtration, purification and hydrogenation steps for such products.
We may enter into additional agreements with other facilities for finishing services
and to access flexible capacity and an array of services as we develop additional
products. In December 2016, we purchased a facility in Leland, North Carolina,
which had been previously operated by Glycotech Inc. (Glycotech) to convert our
Biofene into squalane and other final products. We subsequently contributed that
facility to our Neossance joint venture discuss above. See below under “Business-Joint
Ventures” for more information regarding our Neossance joint venture.
