Using the power of biology to solve the climate crisis
We produce nutritious, sustainable, and low-carbon protein for foods to meet the changing needs of our planet.
Welcome to Fermtech
My name is Andy, I’m a biologist, and the founder of Fermtech. Our passion is to use the power of biology to help solve the climate crisis.
More and more people are choosing non-animal foods because of the impact of animal farming on the environment, the climate, and the animals. We produce nutritious, sustainable, and low-carbon protein for foods to meet that need.
How does it work?
We use a natural process, using microorganisms used in fermentation since ancient times, to grow protein on the waste materials from breweries.
This produces a nutritious, non-GMO, highly digestible protein product that is perfect for use in plant-based foods, like vegan cheese.
Our vision – by 2023
Save 1m tons of CO2 GHG equivalents.
By producing protein for >25,000 tons of animal-free cheese (saving >6,000 dairy cows)
