The Finnish researchers have created a batch of monocyte proteins that are nutritious enough to serve on the food table. This work has been utilized for renewable energy.
The entire process is used only for electricity, water, carbon dioxide and microbial. By electrolysis of a biological reactor, a gourd made in this process contains 50 percent protein and 25 percent carbohydrate. It is also possible to differentiate this food by changing the bias in the biological reactor.
The main researcher of this research, Joha-Pekka Pittakanen, said that this process will be highly diverse in the next phase of the study. Because currently a coffee cup sized reactor is required to spend two weeks for one-gram protein.
In a news report, he said, we are at the moment of this technology development phase. It includes ideas for creating reactors, improving technology, efficiency and controlling the process. He estimates that the process can take more than a decade to apply more efficiently and throughout the practical field.
He said that in this case, the technology can make a significant contribution in the two fields. Firstly, in remote areas it can meet the food needs of the people, where the agricultural system is inadequate. Secondly, it can be avoided due to the huge environmental disasters that can be produced through cattle, thus producing food artificially. Through this, it can be possible to mitigate the harmful effects of global greenhouse gas emissions, including harmful effects. Currently, the meat production industry is responsible for 14 to 18 percent emissions.
