Your Mission.
Our Molecules.
Solugen turns American feedstocks into critical materials our energy systems and warfighters depend on.
Two Missions. Four Forges.
Our Forges are dual-use by design, serving two missions: energy and national security. Toggle between energy security and national security to see how, and click on the Forge to learn more.
Your mission is next.
Every Forge started as someone’s mission. Follow the four steps from yours to a new molecule.
You bring the mission
It starts with yours: energy independence, water security, an energetics stockpile, drone superiority. Each one needs a domestic, high performance molecule that doesn’t exist at scale yet.

Why Solugen?
Most chemical companies license a process, buy off-the-shelf catalysts and hire someone else to build the plant. Every Solugen Forge runs on one platform we own end to end: engineered enzymes, metal catalysts designed in house, and modular hardware we design and build ourselves. That is why we move faster, and for less.
Enzyme engineering
We design enzymes with computational and AI-guided tools, screen thousands of variants at high throughput, and scale the winners in our own Bioflex fermentation plant. They run cell-free at room temperature on very little energy, turning plant sugars into target molecules with high selectivity. It is the biological half of every Forge’s chemistry.

Careers. Rebuild the industrial base.
We're hiring across process engineering, operations, and defense programs in Houston and at Forge sites nationwide. Scientists and builders who want their work in the field, not the drawer.
