Animal feed to grow plant-based protein?
> Unlike conventional protein production, it takes just a fraction of all these resources if any, to produce the same nutritional amount of Solein. Even photosynthesis, the way plants convert energy into food, is not as efficient as our method.
So... they use magical electricity that comes out of nowhere, and operates more efficiently that just letting a plant sit there and use the sun.
Amazing how these people blatantly lie and present half-facts so shamelessly.
- zweifuss 4y agoConversion efficiency from solar radiation to dry matter is estimated for soy beans at 2.1%. Solar Foods claims 10 times more energy-efficient per hectare than photosynthesis with soy production. If you assume 22% efficient solar panels and a longer growing season, because solar panels are less temperature and water dependent than plants, this might just work out.
