Creating high quality protein, carbs and data from electricity, and CO2! Now that we have a use for CO2 (besides allowing plants to breathe), let's stop whining about your mythical Global Warming. Have a bowl of protein instead!
The creation of artificial food out of thin air - with a few added microbes - is the result of a study by research groups in Finland.
And they say the Food from Electricity program is 10-times more energy efficient than the photosynthesis of plants....
“In the long term, protein created with electricity is meant to be used in cooking and products as it is,” says Juha-Pekka Pitkänen, principal scientist at VTT. “The mixture is very nutritious, with more than 50 per cent protein and 25 per cent carbohydrates. The rest is fats and nucleic acids.”
