Description

At Solarferm, we are redesigning the food system from the ground up, starting with sugar, the energy molecule of life itself. Through engineered photosynthesis, we convert carbon dioxide into sugars to provide the missing energy layer that feeds precision fermentation, transforming the way we approach biomanufacturing.

We lower the of cost and carbon footprint of sugar production, providing alternative industrial feedstocks for precision fermentation and other industrial applications. Our solution intersects the convergence between synthetic biology, engineering and physics. We apply multidisciplinary strategies and expertise to design scalable and sustainable production systems.
