03 Sep 2020 --- The production of a unique single-cell protein “made from thin air” is ramping up, following a €15 million (US$18 million) financing round for Finnish food tech start-up, Solar Foods. The new funding propels the commercialization of Solein, an entirely new kind of nutrient-rich protein that is produced using air and electricity as its primary raw materials. This signals that the company can push ahead with its planned production facility scheduled to be operational in late 2022.
