Solar Foods

Solar Foods joins forces with academia and contract partners in a EUR 5.5 million European Innovation Council (EIC) project HYDROCOW. The project will develop a novel biological tool to produce sustainable milk protein from CO2 and electricity.

Solein is produced through fermentation, a natural method that ensures a sustainable protein supply.

Solar Foods develops product concepts featuring Solein, particularly in health and performance nutrition, including the Solein Shake.

Solar Foods has filed a patent application for an innovation for mayonnaise, demonstrating the unmatched value Solein can bring to the food industry.

The food revolution of Solein in the 21st century will be like the potato in the 16th.

While Finland’s fields lie dormant under winter snow, Solar Foods’ Factory 01 hums with life. Here, the harvest season never ends. Solein – the world’s most sustainable protein – is produced every day, no matter the weather, the season, or the time of year.

Solar Foods has been granted €4.3M of new financing from Business Finland to support its €8.6M development project for commercialising Solein, Solar Foods’ natural protein made from air. Business Finland’s financing takes the total Solar Foods’ financing to the total €24.8M.

Solar Foods, producing a unique single-cell protein out of thin air, has closed its series A financing round with €15M new financing. Today’s announced investment extends the Series A financing round to total €18.5M, including the €3.5M convertibles raised in late 2019.

Solar Foods and Danske Bank Growth have agreed EUR 15 million in financing for Solar Foods’ first production facility. The financing is an export credit facility guaranteed by Finnvera and Denmark’s Export Credit Agency (EKF).

Solar Foods has been selected to be one of the European Commission’s Important Project of Common European Interest (‘IPCEI’). The hydrogen IPCEIs are about research and innovation, and first industrial deployment of relevant infrastructure in the hydrogen value chain.

Solar Foods employs over 60 staff across five countries, with expertise in science, product development, and commercial roles.
