Novvi, LLC is a joint venture of Amyris, Inc. and Cosan S.A. Industria e Comercio. Novvi is responsible for the development, production, marketing and distribution of high- performance renewable base oils, on a worldwide basis, for use in the lubricants market. By applying Amyris' synthetic biology platform to modify yeast to product targeted hydrocarbon molecules, Novvi will be able to produce base oils from plant sugar sources. Amyris modified yeast convert sugar cane syrup into farnesene (Biofene), which is then chemically processed to create base oils.
