BUSINESS
DeNova converts greenhouse gases into microbial protein (branded Psomi) for aquaculture feed, initially targeting replacement of fishmeal and other expensive protein sources. The process captures methane from oil and gas flare gas in Alberta, converts it to methanol onsite, then transports methanol to a production facility where it feeds methylotrophic bacteria in bioreactors
BIOTECH INVOLVEMENT
Core; Alberta-based startup converting flare methane into single-cell protein (Psomi) for aquaculture feed, with on-site methane-to-methanol conversion feeding methylotrophic fermentation.
