GERMANTOWN, Md., Feb. 27, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Intrexon Corporation (NASDAQ: XON), a leader in the engineering and industrialization of biology to improve the quality of life and health of the planet, today announced Robert Walsh, senior vice president, Energy and Fine Chemicals Platforms, will participate in a panel on "What to watch out for in downstream – how and where the industry's landscape might change in the future" at the Energy Institute's International Petroleum Week in London on February 28, 2019. Mr. Walsh will also present in the Technology Seminar session at the IHS Markit World Petrochemical Conference on March 19, 2019 in San Antonio, Texas.
These conferences bring together senior executives and global industry leaders in the oil & gas and chemicals field. At both conferences Mr. Walsh will highlight Intrexon's proprietary methane bioconversion platform to convert natural gas into high-value fuels and chemicals through microbial fermentation. Due to its low cost and abundance, natural gas is an attractive feedstock for the production of liquid fuel and industrial starting materials. Intrexon's biologically-based process enables significantly less opex than liquefied natural gas and less capex than Fischer-Tropsch offering the potential for significant margins on the products it produces.
