Problem
Current reliance on traditional plant and animal protein sources contributes to significant environmental issues, including deforestation, overfishing, and increased greenhouse gas emissions. These conventional methods of protein production are often unsustainable and struggle to meet the growing global demand for food.
Solution
Aerbio utilizes a fermentation process to convert carbon dioxide and hydrogen into a sustainable protein ingredient called Proton™. This innovative approach bypasses the need for traditional agriculture by using a sugar-free fermentation technology, (R)evolve™, which relies on carbon dioxide and hydrogen as inputs. The resulting protein ingredient offers a complete amino acid profile and a 70% protein content, providing a greener alternative for food and feed applications. Aerbio's technology enables year-round production from scalable inputs, contributing to a more sustainable and resilient food system.
Target Audience
Aerbio's primary target audience includes food and animal feed manufacturers seeking sustainable and environmentally friendly protein ingredients, as well as companies looking to reduce their carbon footprint and reliance on traditional agricultural practices.
