Air Protein continues its breakthrough in the eco-friendly food industry and it recently introduced a new steak alternative that is made using the company's proprietary tech-driven processes. Air Protein re-creates the flavor and texture of real meat products by using microbes and turning recycled carbon dioxide into edible protein. Air Protein calls it "the meat of tomorrow."
Looking beyond its current products and the steak alternatives, Air Protein has big plans for the future. The company hopes to use a direct air strategy. That is, the folks behind the venture want to remove carbon dioxide directly from the air for more efficient and more impactful sustainable practices.
It is important to note that the steak alternative doesn't directly reduce the concentration of CO2, but rather "avoids emissions and resources use elsewhere."
