In our latest peer-reviewed paper, ‘Reducing Carbon Intensity of Food and Fuel Production Whilst Lowering Land-Use Impacts of Biofuels’, we outline a low carbon approach to the production of food and fuel that can:
- reduce our dependence on oil,
- reduce our land-use requirements for protein production,
- sequester carbon – leading towards net negative carbon emissions.
This can be accomplished by using non-food plant biomass to grow MicroBioGen’s novel non-GMO yeast strains in a process that produces:
- bioethanol as a renewable fuel to replace oil,
- protein-rich yeast suitable to feed our animals and even humans,
- solid carbon-rich material that can be sequestered or used as a coal replacement.
