The company operates through Calysseo, a joint venture with Adisseo (a subsidiary of China National BlueStar/ChemChina), which built and operates the a commercial-scale SCP facility in Chongqing, China — 20,000 tonnes/year capacity, operational since late 2022. Calysta has also developed Positive Protein for human food applications.
