This is great, assuming it still works after scaled up testing. My university used to do a lot of what they called “bucket chemistry” scaling up reactions for industrial scale. They had those labs on the top floor with double thickness concrete floor so it would only blow the roof off in case of the worst outcome.
“ The pilot-scale work showed the new strains could produce up to 110 g/L of succinic acid and, after batch fermentation and downstream processing, an overall yield of 64%”
“could reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 34% to 90% relative to fossil fuel-based production processes.” - so still a lot of uncertainty then.
