"Farmers of the future" in Finland create an edible protein from air and electricity
A microbe is fed carbon dioxide, hydrogen and minerals in a process that uses electricity from renewable sources.
Solar Foods managed to create a protein-rich powder that can be used as an egg or milk substitute.
One kilogram of this new protein, called "Solein", emits 130 times less greenhouse gases than the same amount of protein from beef in the European Union, according to a study by sustainable food specialists at the University of Helsinki cited by Solar Foods.
The protein was authorized for sale in Singapore, where some restaurants incorporate it into ice cream, but it has not yet been classified as a food product in the EU or the United States.
And together we've planted over 150,000 trees. One tree is planted for every climate review written to an organization that is Open for Climate Dialogue™.
