June 4th, 2024 – London – At Noah London 2024, Unibio presented its vision for transforming global protein production, offering a revolutionary solution to some of the planet’s most pressing environmental challenges, including deforestation, overfishing, and the overuse of water and arable land. Unibio’s innovative technology is designed to produce sustainable protein at scale, without relying on traditional agricultural or marine resources.

The company’s groundbreaking fermentation process utilizes carbon-rich gases to create Uniprotein®—a microbial, planet-friendly alternative to conventional protein sources. This scalable and modular technology has already been successfully implemented at commercial scale, positioning Unibio to address the global demand for sustainable protein while preserving vital ecosystems.

Unibio’s solution not only meets the needs of feed and food markets but also offers a path to food security in regions where land and water resources are scarce. By rethinking how protein is produced, Unibio is helping to shape a more sustainable and abundant future for food production worldwide.

Watch the full presentation to learn more about Unibio’s impact and how their technology is revolutionizing the future of protein.

Unibio has successfully tested up to 15% inclusion of Uniprotein® in trout diet with enthusiastic adoption by the fish

Uniprotein® is a sustainable solution to meet the growing need for protein

‍Copenhagen, 29th March 2022 – Unibio, the sustainable protein company, is testing its Uniprotein® product as a replacement protein source for animal and fish feed mixes. Unibio’s most recent trial with farmed trout shows that Uniprotein® can easily be added to a feed mixture at an inclusion rate of up to 15% without a reduction in protein digestibility or growth rates. With a growing global population there is an urgent need for new and more sustainable protein sources. Uniprotein® is produced through the natural microbial fermentation of natural gas, including biogas, with very low land and water use. Uniprotein® is a high-quality protein that can easily replace other high-quality proteins (e.g. fishmeal).

‍About the Trial

‍Unibio today announced the results of a trial it has been conducting with BioMar, a world leader in high-performance diets for more than 45 different aquacultured species, and DTU Aqua, the National Institute of Aquatic Resources at the Technical University of Denmark. The project, which is part of a larger GUDP project[1] looking into the development of sustainable protein ingredients for animal feed, tested Unibio’s Uniprotein® product in trout, a key salmonid species, to scale up into the aquafeed business.

The trial was very successful, with a high feed intake and enthusiastic adoption by the fish. Following a standardized methodology the trial demonstrated that Uniprotein® can be included in trout diets up to 15% with the same high protein digestibility as seen for fishmeal.

‍David Henstrom, Chief Executive Officer of Unibio, said:

‍“If we are to feed the world and meet the feed demands of the ever-growing population, we need to find more sustainable ways of farming fish. Uniprotein® can play an important role in reducing the current reliance and pressure on wild fish with a very efficient use of land and water and a lower carbon footprint in the future. This trial has not only shown that Uniprotein® was highly digestible, but also that the fish in the trial seemed to enjoy the taste of Uniprotein®.”

‍Fernando Norambuena, Sourcing Innovation Specialist from BioMar, said:

‍“These are very promising results in terms of digestibility which would bode well for the adoption of Uniprotein® in trout feed. We have seen good acceptance by the fish, and we look forward to the results on growth performance from current trials to better understand the potential of this raw material on commercial formulations. Including Uniprotein® in commercial diets as a new alternative ingredient in aquafeed will definitely help reduce pressure on wild ecosystems and move towards achieving our 2030 sustainability goal.”

Unibio uses innovative, continuous-flow, natural, microbial fermentation to produce Uniprotein®, a high-quality alternative protein, which can replace products such as fish meal, soy protein concentrates and other high-end protein ingredients in feed for fish and other animals. Uniprotein® is a close substitute to high-quality fishmeal, an issue of growing importance as the production of fishmeal is putting stress on marine ecosystems with Peru alone processing 4-7 million tonnes of fish per year, equivalent to between 160 and 280 billion anchoveta[2]. Unibio’s technology enables the production of more sustainable protein in very large and scalable volumes to help meet the world’s growing protein needs.[1] GUDP is a modern grant scheme for businesses that are open to innovation[2] Source Aquareg
