About this project

The description is as the source gives it.

Kao signed an agreement to purchase a majority of the capacity from Future Origins' first manufacturing plant for C12/C14 fatty alcohol (NALO), a palm oil alternative produced via industrial biotechnology. This low-carbon feedstock supports decarbonization across Kao's chemical business and consumer products value chain. Evidence: "Kao has recently signed an agreement to make future purchases of palm oil alternative from Future Origins of the United States... Kao plans to purchase a majority of Future Origins’ first manufacturing plant’s capacity." — https://www.kao.com/content/dam/sites/kao/www-kao-com/global/en/news/2025/pdf/20250331-001-01.pdf
