Large-scale, non-GMO microalgae production for food and cosmetics using CO2 assimilation, supporting carbon reduction while meeting demand for sustainable protein sources.
Plant-Based Proteins: Addressing the Scarcity of Sustainable Solutions
+70%
increase in food demand expected by 2050
The demand for sustainably sourced ingredients with a carbon-negative footprint is higher than ever, but there is a scarcity of high-quality products in the alternative proteins market (i.e. plant based) and a lack of transparency in ingredient production.
Producing Carbon-Negative Microalgae Protein at Scale
Solmeyea produces non-GOM at scale, single-cell food proteins from micro-algae that can be sold for human consumption in Europe today through CO2 assimilation straight from its source.
This process will be able to absorb up to 1Gt of CO2 per year by 2023, being 30 times more efficient than regular plants and cheaper than other carbon capture options available.
Reducing Emissions with Microalgae Carbon Capture
+30X
increase in production efficiency compared to conventional farming
This biotech solution utilizes non-GMO single-cell proteins to target large CO2 emitters - such as factories and industries - by directly absorbing emissions that are then converted into carbon-negative feed from the source using microalgae. Hybrid vertical farming optimizes land use for renewable microalgae cultivation and maximizes biomass utilization.
Solmeyea produces sustainable proteins for:
- Food manufacturers
- Supplement companies
- Cosmetics manufacturers
- Pharmaceutical industry
The benefits of Solmeyea microalgae protein production
By assimilating CO2 from industrial sources, factories reduce their total emissions while directly contributing to microalgae's growth through the bioconversion of CO2 into carbon-negative feedstock.
The derivatives of microalgae provide firms in the food and cosmetics industries with non-GMO, plant-based alternative proteins for their products, offering the added benefit of reducing the strain on their CO2 allowances.
