This is a new alternative to our current, photosynthesis-based food chain. For those who think it's a scam, consider that they have already convinced the European Space Agency to be a partner: https://www.forbes.com/sites/lanabandoim/2018/11/26/how-a-startup-plans-to-make-edible-protein-from-air-and-electricity/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/lanabandoim/2018/11/26/how-a-st...
And for those who think the headline is misleading: It's comparable to saying that plant protein comes from sun+air+water. They first build a small bioreactor with some microbes inside but after that the input is (mostly?) air (including carbon dioxide and nitrogen), electricity (preferably from solar) and a little water, and the output "looks and tastes like wheat flour,
with 50% protein content and 5–10 % fat and 20–25 % carbs." https://solarfoods.fi/bioprocess/ https://solarfoods.fi/bioprocess/
