BP投資于用天然气生產動物飼料的技术

中國石化消息網讯 据烃加工在线 6月27日動静称，英國煤油危害投資公司已向另外一家卵白质出產商Calysta公司投資3000万美元，该公司将操纵英國煤油的自然气出產用于鱼类、牲口和寵物飼料的卵白质。

這笔投資支撑了英國煤油建立新市场的计谋，在這個市场中，自然气可以在供给更可延续的将来方面阐扬首要感化，并在英國煤油與总部位于加州的草創企業Calysta之间創建环抱自然气和電力供给的计谋瓜葛。

Calysta独占的气體發酵技能出產出FeedKind?卵白，這是一种可延续的飼料，可用于鱼类、牲口和寵物的養分產物。這一立异進程有潜力帮忙知足水產養殖和更遍及的农業市场對飼料不竭增加的需求，而不受當前采購法子的一些情况影响。

到2025年，全世界水產養殖市场估计将增加25%。這一過程将有助于冲击過分捕捞，以应答预期的增加。FeedKind卵白质可以作為今朝利用的其他卵白质来历的可延续替换品，如鱼粉和大豆浓缩卵白。

BP团體计谋部主管D燈具,ominic Emery暗示：“经由過程将Calysta使人愉快的技能和創業動力，與英國煤油的全世界范围和自然气市场特长相连系，這类互助瓜葛為全世界不竭增加的生齿供给了改良食粮平安和可延续成长的機遇。”

Calysta首席履行官兼总裁Alan Shaw博士弥补说：“接待BP作為互助火伴，對FeedKind卵白来讲是一猛進步，也是Calysta在資本有限的世界中解决食粮不平安问题可以或许并将实現全世界范围的最好指标。”

“咱们等待着與英國煤油公司紧密亲密互助，為向世界交付這一產物做筹备。Calysta将受益于英國煤油公司出色的運營事迹，并在摆设多個出產工场時注意平安。”

在FeedKind進程中，一种天然發展的细菌在专用發酵罐中發展，發酵罐利用甲烷作為碳和能源。這就發生了一种单细胞卵白，它在被制成颗粒以前被采集和干燥。天然發酵進程雷同于面包酵母的出產。Calysta的微生物是全球康健泥土中自然存在的成份。FeedKind對飼喂FeedKind的海鲜或動物的風韵或质地特性没有影响。

英國煤油的投資将使Calysta可以或许扩展卵白质的產量，并支撑其在全世界推行的大志。该公司在英國提赛德的市场引進举措措施已在出產FeedKind卵白，以支撑與全世界领先動物養分公司的市场开辟勾當。

迄今為止，英國煤油经由過程英國煤油危害投資公司向50多個实體的科技公司投資了5亿多美元。危害投資公司在BP应答两重挑战的计谋中饰演着關頭脚色，即知足世界對更多能源的需求，同時削减碳排放。

BP invests in technology to produce animal feeds from natural gas

BP Ventures has made an investment of US$30 million in Calysta, Inc., an alternative protein producer, that will use BP’s natural gas to produce protein for fish, livestock and pet feeds.

The investment supports BP’s strategy of creating new markets in which gas can play a material role in delivering a more sustainable future and establishing a strategic relationship between BP and California-based start-up Calysta around gas and power supply.

Calysta’s proprietary gas fermentation technology produces FeedKind? protein, a sustainable feedstock that can be used for fish, livestock and pet nutritional products. The innovative process has the potential to help meet the growing demand for feed in the aquaculture and wider agriculture markets without some of the environmental impacts of current sourcing methods.

The global aquaculture market is expected to grow up to 25% by 2025. The process will help combat overfishing in response to the projected growth. FeedKind protein can be a sustainable substitute for other protein sources currently used – such as fishmeal and soy protein concentrate.

Dominic Emery, BP’s Group Head of Strategy, said: “By pairing Calysta’s exciting technology and entrepreneurial drive with BP’s global scale and gas market expertise, this partnership offers the opportunity to improve food security and sustainability for the world’s growing population.”

Alan Shaw PhD, CEO and President of Calysta, added: “Welcoming BP as a partner is a tremendous step forward for FeedKind晶亮瓷， protein and the best indicator yet that Calysta’s solution to food insecurity in自律神經失眠, a resource-constrained world can and will achieve global scale.

“We look forward to working closely with BP as we prepare to deliver this product to the world, and Calysta will benefit from BP’s operational excellence and focus on safety when deploying multiple production plants.”

During the FeedKind process, a naturally occurring bacteria is grown in a proprietary fermenter using methane as its carbon and energy source. This creates a single cell protein that is harvested and dried prior to being pelletised. The natural fermentation process is similar to the production of 日本藤素,yeast for bread. Calysta’s micro-organisms are a naturally occurring component of healthy soils worldwide. FeedKind has no impact on the flavour or texture profile of seafood or animals fed FeedKind.

BP’s investment will enable Calysta to expand production of its protein and support its ambition for a global rollout. FeedKind protein is already being produced from the company’s Market Introduction Facility (MIF) in Teesside, UK to support market development activities with leading animal nutrition companies around the world.

To date, BP has invested more than US$500 million in technology companies across more than 50 entities through BP Ventures. Venturing plays a key role in BP’s strategy to tackle the dual challenge of meeting the world’s need for more energy, while at the same time reducing carbon emissions.
