Power to Protein is a new way to make proteins useful for the food industry that cares about the environment.
Protein consumption is increasing as the world’s population grows and meat consumption increases. Protein scarcity will be exacerbated by a decrease in land and water availability. The use of soy or fishmeal and the production of animal protein cannot fulfill population demands and has a large negative impact on the environment. These practices are strongly linked to extensive deforestation, eutrophication, and overfishing.
POWER TO PROTEIN is a natural and sustainable protein synthesis technique that uses clean water, carbon dioxide, and renewable electricity. In terms of energy, material, and land consumption, this revolutionary manufacturing technique is extremely sustainable. Pesticides, hormones, and antibiotics are not used in the fermentation process. Import dependency will be reduced when high-quality proteins are produced locally. The solution is completely gmo-free.
