In this episode of Manufacturing Unscripted, host Peter Parsons sits down with Juha Pitkänen, co-founder and Chief Scientific Officer of Solar Foods, to talk about a protein literally made out of thin air. Juha explains how Solar Foods uses CO2, hydrogen, and renewable electricity to grow a microorganism that becomes Solein, a yellow protein powder already approved in Singapore and the US. A fascinating look at food production without agriculture, the regulatory road ahead, and where this technology could go next.
