The Power-to-Protein concept is attracting a great deal of attention. The process involves the highly efficient production of protein from raw materials – like ammonium, carbon dioxide and hydrogen (as power) – which originate in our own wastewater. A special group of bacteria are used in the process to produce so-called ‘single-cell protein’ (SCP). Emeritus professor Willy Verstraete came up with the concept. For some time now, a small reactor has been running on a laboratory scale and, beginning this week, the new Power-to-Protein website has been online offering extensive information on the innovation.
