BP Ventures, a specialist in developing new energy ventures in the extraction, processing and alternative energy sectors, has invested $ 30 million in Calysta, Inc., an alternative protein producer that will use BP Ventures natural gas to produce protein for fish, livestock and animal feed. for pets.
Calysta's patented gas fermentation technology allows the production of FeedKind ® protein, which can be used to feed fish, livestock and pets.
An innovative process can help meet the growing demand for feed in aquaculture and wider agricultural markets without any environmental impact.
FeedKind Protein can be a sustainable substitute for other currently used protein sources, such as fishmeal and soy protein concentrate.
During the FeedKind process, naturally occurring bacteria are grown in a patented fermenter using methane as a source of carbon and energy. This creates a protein from a single cell, which is then collected and dried before granulation.
The natural fermentation process is similar to the production of yeast for bread. Calysta microorganisms are a natural component of healthy soils worldwide. FeedKind does not affect the taste or texture of the profile of seafood or animals fed FeedKind.
