Breakthrough for Maiken Foods, 350ppm Biotech - and for the climate
Press release:
In partnership with the Norwegian fish farming company Maiken Foods, 350ppm Biotech will set up the very first onshore fish farm that will not release carbon dioxide. The CO2 from the salmon on the farm will be fed into tanks and used to produce more feed for the fish farm. The first farm for this fully sustainable aquaculture production of salmon will be set up in Sines, Portugal, next year.
The production will take place in modules and can easily be expanded. Both the fish farm itself and the facility to produce feed will be solar powered. Both companies are leaders in their field with Maiken Foods having developed a novel way of producing salmon and cod in land-based fish tank. As our followers here will know, the technology patented by 350ppm Biotech allows for production of protein-rich biomass by gas fermentation of a microorganism that is feeding solely on carbon dioxide and is powered by hydrogen created by electrolysis of water via solar energy.
By using the CO2 and ammonia excreted by the fish, the companies aim to establish the world's first fully sustainable, carbon-neutral aquaculture system, entirely powered by green energy and without polluting the environment.
"I have always had a dream to construct and operate an integrated feed and aquaculture farm solely powered by solar energy. This is a dream come true," says Arve Gravdal, CEO of Maiken Foods AS.
“This concept marks the birth of a food revolution,” says Erwin Jurtschitsch, CEO of 350PPM Biotech. “In the future, we will produce food without using agricultural land and polluting the environment and without increasing greenhouse gases. We will demonstrate that it is possible to achieve this ambitious goal by creating an integrated value chain from feed to food, solely based on renewable energy.”
