Get ready for the future. A Finnish company can make protein from air and electricity now. Once they figure out carbohydrates, oils, sugar, starch, we may give up growing food corn entirely.


Oils and the carbs are the easy ones to make. Do you have a link or the name of the company?


The company is Solar Foods: https://solarfoods.fi/

It's an approach to growing single cell protein (e.g. products like Quorn) that uses hydrogen oxidizing bacteria with hydrogen from renewable-powered water electrolysis.

I have more detailed links in this old comment of mine from when Solar Foods appeared on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18355483
