Summary
Terra Oleo emerged from stealth with US$3.1 million in funding and support from Breakthrough Energy’s Fellows Program. The Singapore-based company develops microbial alternatives to palm oil derivatives and cocoa butter for use in personal care, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food. It has already signed product testing agreements with several global and regional companies and is moving from lab work toward pilot-scale validation. The company says its technology can reduce supply-chain pressure, lower emissions, and replace energy-intensive conventional lipid production.
