Finnish startup Solar Foods aims to create protein from air and waste

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Solar Foods, a Finnish startup, is developing a novel food production method inspired by a 1964 NASA-inspired paper. This process utilizes bacteria to convert hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and urea into a protein-rich substance, aiming to create a sustainable food source. Despite the concept's origins in space exploration, the company is now establishing a factory in Finland to implement this technology, addressing challenges posed by less-than-ideal local growing conditions.
