Deep Branch Details
Deep Branch is a carbon dioxide recycling company that uses microorganisms to convert clean CO2 into high-quality products to enable global sustainable animal nutrition. Founded in 2018, the company is a fast-growing startup operating in both the UK and the Netherlands.The sustainability of animal farming and broader concerns regarding the reduction of emissions are two of the biggest problems of our time. By 2050 the world's carbon emissions must be net-zero to avoid environmental catastrophe, yet by this point, our planet's population is predicted to increase by a third. With average consumption of animal products increasing, it's thought that the output of animal farming will have to double to meet demand.Of the total emissions associated with the average person, approximately one quarter comes from diet and the majority of those emissions are associated with animal products. Although at Deep Branch we recognise the best way to reduce dietary carbon intensity is to reduce meat consumption, we're pragmatic in recognising that not everyone sees it this way. At Deep Branch, we're tackling this problem through the development of Proton™, our single-cell protein.We have partnered with two multinational animal feed producers to co-develop Proton™-based feeds for use in aquaculture and poultry. Over the next two years, we'll be scaling our output and working together to finalise feed formulations for an anticipated 2023 market launch. Rather than relying on the conventional protein sources of protein, fishmeal and soy, which are often shipped from South America, Proton™-based feeds can be produced from locally sourced ingredients with 90% less carbon intensity. Proton™ is not just dramatically more sustainable, it's also cost-competitive, making the transition to Proton™-based feeds an easy decision to make.
