A leader in green biotechnology.  
  Diversified Natural Products is part of an emerging global trend: meeting energy and chemical needs with renewable resources. Many companies that manufacture chemicals from petroleum feedstocks are seeking alternative technologies -ones that use renewable starting materials to produce bio-based chemicals. DNP offers these companies a proven technology substituting agriculture for petroleum to produce bio-based succinic acid, a four-carbon platform molecule that can be used to produce many polymers and solvents.  
  At the core of DNP's green technology is a patented fermentation process that DNP has licensed on an exclusive, worldwide basis from the United States Department of Energy (US DOE). DNP has assembled a portfolio of 23 patents in addition to numerous trade secrets, which cover:  
 
  • the organisms used in the process,
  • the upstream and downstream processing steps, and
  • numerous application patents related to succinic acid and
    derivative products.
