It's a form of artificial photosynthesis - electrocatalysis-based artificial photosynthesis.
We don't need sunlight, or light at all. We can mimic its effects and induce the biological mechanisms to work. For a fodder grass, you only need a few weeks from germination to harvest.

- forgetfreeman 4y agoThis reads like marketing bullshit. "4 times more efficient than photosynthesis" is gibberish when the sun costs nothing and your process requires electricity. Yeast, algae, and fungus? And maybe lettuce (which has roughly the nutritional content of a glass of ice water with a couple gnats in it)? That's it?
- peteradio 4y agoRadical!
- mickdeek86 4y agoThe extra energy comes from the electro. Electricity into acetate, then used as 'plant food'. As a substitute for the glucose perhaps?
