Deep Branch Biotechnology, operating under the brand Aerbio, is pioneering innovative fermentation technologies that convert carbon dioxide and hydrogen into sustainable protein products. Their flagship product, Proton™, is a protein-rich ingredient derived from natural microorganisms, boasting a remarkable 70% protein content and a complete amino acid profile. This groundbreaking approach not only addresses the environmental challenges associated with traditional protein sources, such as deforestation and overfishing, but also offers year-round production capabilities that are independent of weather conditions. Proton™ is positioned as a key ingredient for both food and animal feed applications, significantly reducing the carbon footprint by up to 90% compared to conventional proteins.

The company employs its proprietary (R)evolve™ technology, which utilizes aerobic gas fermentation to cultivate these microorganisms. Unlike traditional fermentation processes that rely on sugar as a carbon source, Aerbio's method harnesses carbon dioxide and hydrogen, creating a more sustainable and efficient production cycle. This technology allows for continuous protein production, minimizing waste and maximizing output. Aerbio is actively collaborating with industry leaders and research institutions to explore the full potential of Proton™ and develop innovative applications, thereby contributing to a more sustainable food system and redefining the future of protein production.
