Energy efficient and resilient food production system
The project Energy-efficient and resilient food production system using hydrogen-oxidising bacteria (HERO-Protein) aims to develop a novel food system independent of fossil-based energy, weather conditions, and land use, reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Agriculture contributes significantly to global emissions, and a green transition is urgently needed in food production. To achieve carbon neutrality, agriculture requires innovative, circular, and energy-efficient solutions. Cellular…
