- abdullahkhalids 7y agoThey claim 250x improvement in water usage and 10x in land usage over soy. This is not surprising at all. Once your throw away all excess parts of plants necessary for reproduction and survival against the harshness of the environment etc, you will have huge efficiency gains. https://solarfoods.fi/environmental-impact/ https://solarfoods.fi/environmental-impact/
- jaclaz 7y agoYep but it is: Water+(Renewable)Electricity+Nutrients&Vitamins+CO2 that creates these proteins/food. So it is not actually "out of thin air", and until we don't know how much Nutrients & Vitamins are used (and of course how much electricity and water) we have no way to know how "efficient" the process is. I mean, for all we know, it could be needed (intentionally exaggerated) 1 M3 of water, 10 KWh, 15 Kg of Nutrients and Vitamins besides 1 Kg of CO2 to get 1 Kg of food.
