Companies transmute gas to protein
Innovative new ways of developing protein sources include the use of methane gas to generate such vital ingredients.
Feed protein producer, Calysta, continues to develop its methane gas sourced feed protein product, FeedKind, with an eye on the aquaculture market.
The company has been generating the protein since 2016 at pilot scale but is partnering with Cargill on a commercial scale facility in Tennessee.
Similarly, Unibio is looking to use its natural gas-derived protein product as a feed ingredient for multiple species including chickens, pigs, calves and fish species. The company's protein product is currently being tested by players in the Southeast Asian market.
