DEEP BRANCH technology takes carbon dioxide directly from industrial emissions and transforms it into single cell protein. This nutritious protein source acts as a more sustainable alternative to soy or fishmeal, the conventional protein sources for livestock and aquaculture feed. The Deep Branch Biotechnology co-founders met whilst at the University of Nottingham's Synthetic Biology Research Centre (SBRC). Whilst working together on ways to utilize gas fermentation for production of chemicals, the team discovered they had a shared desire to make a positive impact of the world. Pete and Bart left the SBRC to pursue new challenges in commercial and academic biotech, whilst Rob remained at to continue the work of his PhD. The team kept in touch and when in the summer of 2018 Bart proposed a new twist on how gas fermentation could be used for clean production of single cell protein, Pete and Rob were sold. They were able to go from idea to raising pre-seed funding within four months, and haven't looked back since. DEEP BRANCH biological carbon recycling solution helps companies who want to reduce their carbon footprint without impacting negatively on operational costs. Unlike traditional carbon storage technology that simply collects carbon dioxide, we use it for something meaningful. Our biological process converts the carbon dioxide into sustainable protein, and unlike conventional biological methods, such as algae cultivation, it requires minimal labour and land, and no sunlight.
n June 2019, Deep Branch Biotechnology and Drax Power Group announced their partnership as part of the BECCUS (BioEnergy Carbon Capture Utilisation & Storage) project. Drax are the UK's largest renewable energy producer and the partnership will see Deep Branch utilising carbon dioxide from Drax's flue gas at their renewable energy plant in Yorkshire (UK). Following full lab-scale validation of the Deep Branch Biotechnology process, this partnership represents the first real-world application of the technology. The partnership with Drax offers an opportunity to validate using carbon dioxide that is already generated in a sustainable fashion. Because Drax's biomass units are carbon neutral at the point of generation, the process creates extremely low-carbon protein. This pilot project represents a major step towards roll-out of a with the potential to generate large quantities of sustainable protein. By using this protein as animal feed, production of animal products becomes less environmentally impactful, whilst arable land conventionally used for soy production will be made available for other uses.

The world's population will reach 10 billion people by 2050\. By this point, the demand for animal-based products will have doubled, yet we currently struggle to feed the animals we eat in a sustainable fashion today. Based on Deep Branch Biotechnology's proprietary CO2-to-protein process, the REACT-FIRST consortium will develop feeds with 65-75% smaller ...

"Deep Branch Biotechnology (DBB) transform the polluters of today into the producers of tomorrow. The DBB process converts carbon dioxide directly from industrial gas, into a sustainable and high quality alternative to current animal feed proteins (soy and fishmeal). This project will prove feasibility of the Deep Branch process on-site at Drax power stat...
