Some 20 percent of the greenhouse gas emission due human action originate from the food system. Those emissions need to be nearly stopped in 30 years time. At the same time the global population grows by 2 billion.
The solution is to develop a fundamentally more efficient food system.
Solar Foods’ natural protein is produced using CO2 from air and electricity. This will revolutionize food production as Solar Foods' production is not dependent on agriculture, the weather, or the climate. The Solar Foods process is 10x more energy-efficient per hectare than photosynthesis, and 100x times more efficient in water use than the animal or plant-based alternatives. Solar Foods has started a pilot plant in Finland that will produce 1 kilogram per day by the end of 2018.
