Proton™
Sustainable Feed Protein
Proton™ is cost-competitive with incumbent proteins and offers a 90% saving on carbon footprint. Compared to other single-cell protein (SCP) technologies that use methane or sugar as feedstocks (instead of CO2), Deep Branch has significantly lower input costs.
Proton™ Benefits:
- Comparable nutritional profile to fishmeal (the nutritional gold standard).
- Bespoke nutritional profile to meet animal feed producers’ demand for precision nutrition.
- Unlike fishmeal or soy, there is no fluctuation in price or yield caused by seasonality Food security and stable pricing, reliable manufacturing close to point of consumption with no reliance on favourable weather conditions.
The Proton Project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme under grant agreement No 101010113.
After the quality validation of the product, Deep Branch will establish a full-scale production facility in cooperation with a carbon-intensive industry. The Project intends to support production at scale. It will also validate the nutritional viability of the product, complete the design for the market launch and ensure the necessary IP protection.
