Gas fermentation is a new way to make food proteins by feeding CO2 and hydrogen to specially engineered microbes, instead of growing crops or animals. AIR2FOOD creates a shared European hub to develop this technology, producing proteins and fats used in everyday foods like whey and milk fat.
1) Build Europe’s first innovation hub for gas precision fermentation. 2) Demonstrate production of four protein and fat products from CO2. 3) Assess economic viability, sustainability and regulation. 4) Develop shared infrastructure and a regulatory sandbox to support start-ups.
This project has only just begun. We will update the content as soon as results become available.
