Idea

Transforming industrial waste carbon dioxide emissions into protein for fish and feed ingredients, through industrial biotech.

Introduction

It was founded in 2017 by Brian Sefton, the “food and feed from CO2” company.

Innovation

This innovation eliminates the problem of industrial emissions and preserves small fish population from being blended as feed for big fish.They finds alternative food for aquatic animals which has both economic and environmental benefit: using less water, saving small fish, promoting afforestation. Such food production varies from using non-agricultural plant materials, microalgae, soil, methane, and different byproducts that might be harmful to ecology.

Impact

Our main product line is our protein flours. They are all natural, non-GMO, complete proteins, with all the amino acids found in meat, but with considerably lessened impacts on wildlife, land, and water. According to David Tze, CEO, 2nd 2018 IndieBio Demo Day. "The annual CO2 emissions from a large cement plant would create 3 billion dollars of our protein flour, worth the same as the entire annual soy production of the state of Nebraska — 330 million bushels a year."
