Sustainable Alternative protein farms

About

Carbohydrates (Carbs) Production: Requires Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, and energy from the sun.       (Carbs are 50% of our diet)

It’s called photolysis or carbon capture. Green plants do it.   But we can’t live on carbs only!

Protein Production: Requires nitrogen (16% of the protein). In addition to carbs.       (Protein is 20% of our diet)

For cells to make amino acids and then protein, the nitrogen supplied needs to be “fixed” - in ammonia form. Only a few species of bacteria can “fix nitrogen” and make ammonia from the air for the production of protein. Nitrogen can also be fixed in the Haber Bosch chemical process, but we don’t want that. Algaenite uses a natural microorganism that is a bacteria-microalgae hybrid. It performs both carbon capture and nitrogen fixation simultaneously - within one organism. So: Ammonia production is known as: “Nitrogen Fixation” (Connecting nitrogen from the air to hydrogen). It requires energy. We get the energy from the sun. The microalgae part of our microorganism is the “solar farm of the 2µ protein factory”. Ammonia is essential for the production of protein. Ammonia is the building block, the most important raw material in food production.
