👩🏭 Exciting news for Australia's biomanufacturing sector: Cauldron Ferm announced that the Queensland Government will support the development of an industrial-scale precision fermentation facility. Details: https://bit.ly/3zPpICe The facility will be the first and largest end-to-end contract manufacturer for bioproducts in Asia-Pacific, with a projected annual output of over 1,000 tons. It will deploy Cauldron’s hyper-fermentation technology for cost-effective and resource-efficient production of #alternativeproteins and widely used petrochemicals for multiple sectors. Policymakers in Australia and around the world are beginning to make notable investments in alternative protein R&D and commercialization as they incorporate sustainable proteins into their food security, global health, and sustainability strategies — but more investment is needed to realize sector's full potential.
