About Us
Red car on country road
Energy crops in the U.S. could meet 75% of current gasoline demand.

Growing Tomorrow’s Fuel Today®

Using advanced plant breeding and biotechnology, we are developing dedicated energy crops as raw materials for biopower and a new generation of biofuels made from plant stems, stalks and leaves — called cellulosic biofuels.

Our seeds and traits are making the large-scale production of biofuels possible by increasing yields, lowering costs, facilitating processing and refining, and even helping reduce greenhouse gases.

Gene and Trait Provider for Traditional Row Crops

Many of the same traits that benefit energy crops also benefit traditional row crops. So, Ceres supplies traits and technology to other well-known crop developers of corn, soy and other non-energy crops.
