The chemical industry currently relies on fossil fuels and extreme temperature and pressure, leading to high energy consumption, gigatons of CO2 emissions, and dangerous byproducts. Even existing sustainable alternatives are often inefficient. Inspired by nature, Anodyne Chemistries has innovated a new bioelectric manufacturing process, offering a more efficient and sustainable solution than current thermochemical methods.

Anodyne Chemistries was a finalist for the 2022 Ray of Hope Prize, which supports nature-inspired solutions for global environmental challenges. The Ray of Hope Accelerator continues to foster a vibrant global community of innovative, nature-inspired startups. Learn more about Anodyne Chemistries and the Biomimicry Institute.

Plants are essential for life, yet their critical importance is often overlooked. Globally, nearly 16,000 plant species face extinction, with only 11% assessed. In the U.S. alone, over 900 plants are endangered, and 70 more await protection.

The Center actively works to protect imperiled plants across the country, from deserts to rainforests and swamps. Join our upcoming webinar to learn about our vital efforts to save endangered plants and discover how you can contribute.

The presentation will feature Hawaii Director Maxx Phillips and Senior Scientist Ileene Anderson. For more on Hawaii's plant extinction crisis, watch this Great Big Story video: https://youtu.be/XFAQeyUfiAc
