Inspiring CO2 circularity by introducing carbon transformation to our plates

REVOLUTIONIZING FOOD PRODUCTION WITH CO2 INPUTS AND CARBON-NEGATIVE MICROALGAE PROTEINS

Introduction

Solmeyea is a biotech company producing functional food ingredients as an alternative to both animal- and plant-based proteins. Our groundbreaking, IP-protected Hybrid Vertical Microalgae Fermentation (HVF) technology enables microalgae fermentation using CO2 in lieu of carbon substrates and Greece's abundant Renewable Energy Sources.

Technology Benefits

This combination results in the production of carbon-negative, microalgae-derived proteins in various colors, requiring 0.1% of the crops-land on 200x higher yields of the same proteins.

ENHANCING FOOD SECURITY, GEOPOLITICS & ECONOMIC IMPACT

Addressing Challenges

Our HVF not only unlocks the full potential of microalgae but also addresses the EU’s critical challenges. It reduces reliance on heavily commoditized and price-volatile crops and glucose.

Supporting Food Security

We support food security by facilitating the production of fermented CO2-derived food proteins and replacing imported, highly processed, and environmentally harmful crop-derived ones.

Economic Contributions

We ensure the efficient production of food ingredients, contributing to national and EU GDP, and empower the EU to regain independence and geopolitical competitiveness.

SOLUTION: MEY PROTEIN FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION AT SCALE

Introduction to MEY

MEY is the first-ever non-GMO protein produced from CO2 with the highest standards for human consumption. Through the pioneering combination of gas and microalgae fermentation, we transform SCOPE:1 CO2 into authorized, white, functional food protein.

Efficiency and Sustainability

Compared to any FDA/EFSA-approved protein, our microalgae-derived MEY demonstrates:

1. 30x higher land-efficiency
2. 400x more sustainability in terms of water and carbon footprint.

EICA SUPPORT: ADVANCING TECHNOLOGY TO TRL:9 AND BEYOND

Future Projections

It will propel Solmeyea's CO2-Bioconversion and microalgae fermentation system to Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 9, projecting an annual revenue of €190 million by 2029.

Integrated AI Models

Our integrated AI models ensure precision, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness at both our demo and future flagship development.
