Deep Branch Revenue and Competitors

Deep Branch is a carbon recycling biotechnology company. We use microbes to convert carbon dioxide from industrial emissions into high-value products. We're a fast-growing and agile startup with commercial activities both in the UK and the Netherlands. Sustainability of animal farming and broader concerns regarding the reduction of emissions are two of the biggest problems of our time. By 2050 the world's carbon emissions must be net-zero to avoid environmental catastrophe, yet by this point, our planet's population is predicted to increase by a third. With average consumption of animal products increasing, it's thought that the output of animal farming will have to double to meet demand. Of the total emissions associated with the average person, approximately one quarter comes from diet and the majority of those emissions are associated with animal products. Although at Deep Branch we recognise the best way to reduce dietary carbon intensity is to reduce meat consumption, we're pragmatic in recognising that not everyone sees it this way. At Deep Branch, we're tackling this problem through the development of Protonâ„¢, our single-cell protein. We have partnered with two multinational animal feed producers to co-develop Protonâ„¢-based feeds for use in aquaculture and poultry. Over the next two years, we'll be scaling our output and working together to finalise feed formulations for an anticipated 2023 market launch. Rather than relying on the conventional protein sources of protein, fishmeal and soy, which are often shipped from South America, Protonâ„¢-based feeds can be produced from locally sourced ingredients with 90% less carbon intensity. Protonâ„¢ is not just dramatically more sustainable, it's also cost-competitive, making the transition to Protonâ„¢-based feeds an easy decision to make.
