09 Sep 2019 --- Solar Foods, a Finnish-based food-tech company, has won the Index Award, worth €100,000 (US$110,000) funded by the Index Project, a Danish non-profit organization. The company’s award-winning invention, Solein protein, uses carbon dioxide and electricity to produce protein that enables food production entirely without agriculture. In the long-term, this provides a means of growing harvest in a clean environment while using renewable energy for producing food with the lowest possible environmental burden.
