Innovative biobased polyols for use in high
performance coatings for ships, marine vessels, and steel
piping.
Danimer Scientific, Inc. (NYSE: DNMR) (“Danimer”), a leading,
next-generation biotechnology company focused on the production of
biomaterials, announces an award from the U.S. Department of
Defense via the Distributed Bioindustrial Manufacturing Program
(DBIMP).
Danimer Scientific has been awarded $1.36 million to develop
plans for a facility to produce biobased polyols that can be
converted into high-performance coatings for ships, marine vessels,
and steel piping. These biobased coatings have superior properties
to petroleum-based incumbents. Upon completion of its work under
the current award, Danimer may become eligible to receive a
follow-on award that could provide access to up to $100 million to
build a U.S.-based manufacturing facility.
The award is conferred as part of the White House's Executive
Order 14081, "Advancing Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing
Innovation for a Sustainable, Safe, and Secure American
Bioeconomy," aimed at bolstering America's bioeconomic strengths
while helping the Department of Defense achieve advanced defense
capabilities. Through these awards, companies receive funding to
produce business and technical plans that detail construction of
domestic bioindustrial manufacturing production facilities under
the Defense Industrial Base Consortium (DIBC) Other Transaction
Agreement (OTA), a contract vehicle awarded and overseen by the
Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Industrial Base
Policy.
“We are excited to receive this funding to continue developing
our innovative polyol biotechnology, and proud to support the
efforts of the Department of Defense through the DBIMP and
Executive Order 14081,” Stated Danimer Chief Science and Technology
Officer Phil Van Trump.

About the Department of Defense Distributed Bioindustrial
Manufacturing Program (DBIMP)
Following a competitive evaluation of proposed solutions, the
Department entered negotiations with more than 30 selectees for
business and technical planning efforts across focus areas for
defense materials: fabrication, firepower, fitness, food, and fuel.
Upon completion of planning efforts, businesses are eligible to
enter negotiations to proceed to the next phase of the DBIMP under
the DIBC, wherein the DoD will support building bioproduction
infrastructure that increases the domestic supply of critical
materials. DBIMP awards are conferred as part of the White House's
Executive Order 14081, "Advancing Biotechnology and
Biomanufacturing Innovation for a Sustainable, Safe, and Secure
American Bioeconomy," aimed at bolstering America's bioeconomic
strengths while helping the Department achieve advanced defense
capabilities.
