Air Protein

Air Protein is an innovative company that specializes in the production of proteins from air elements such as CO2. Using microorganisms and a unique fermentation technology, a nutrient-dense and environmentally friendly protein is produced from these elements. This technology allows for the production of meat alternatives and other protein-based foods within days, significantly increasing the scalability and sustainability of production[2][3].

The mission of Air Protein is to provide a sustainable solution for the growing global demand for proteins. The company was founded by Dr. Lisa Dyson, who is driven by the vision of creating a modern and sustainable alternative to traditional meat to sustainably feed the world’s population by 2050. Air Protein is committed to developing nutrient-rich, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective protein alternatives to meet the needs of the growing global population[2][3].

Air Protein strives to offer the most environmentally friendly protein production on the market. The company's technology is carbon-negative and significantly reduces the need for agricultural land and resources. By using air elements and microorganisms, Air Protein can produce its products in vertical "farms" that can be established anywhere in the world, minimizing reliance on traditional agricultural practices. These approaches contribute significantly to combating climate change and preserving biodiversity[2][3].

Air Protein has formed significant partnerships with leading companies and investors. These include ADM, a global food corporation, as well as investors like Google Ventures, Barclays, and the Ford Foundation. These partnerships, particularly the strategic development agreement with ADM, enable Air Protein to accelerate its research and development and scale its innovative technology commercially. Air Protein has raised a total of $107 million in capital to finance the expansion of its team and infrastructure[1][2].

Air Protein is part of initiatives aimed at sustainably shaping the future of food production. The company has been included in the first "Unreasonable Food" program by Mars and the Unreasonable Group, which promotes innovative solutions for future food production. With its advanced technology and sustainable approaches, Air Protein positions itself as a leader in the alt-protein industry and works to play a significant role in global food security[3].
