Planet-friendly protein for a growing world
Introducing Uniprotein®
Where nourishment and nature exist in symbiosis
As we stand on the brink of a population surge the demand for protein will double, intensifying the strain on our planet. We are actively confronting this challenge and have developed a high-quality microbial protein that is as sustainable as it is nutritious.

UNLOCKING THE ALCHEMY OF NATURE
Scalable, nature-inspired protein production
We’re reinventing the way the world produces protein. By harnessing a highly available natural resource and embracing the art and science of fermentation — similar to brewing beer or culturing yoghurt — we've developed a boundless protein production system that doesn’t cost the planet.
Our Pledge for Tomorrow
At Unibio, we pledge to transform the protein industry from the ground up, starting by transforming essential feed options for livestock and fish. As we continue to innovate and grow, we are extending our planet-friendly protein into pet and food applications, multiplying our impact across industries.

Innovation Fund Denmark invests in advanced Danish gas fermentation platform with global potential
Innovation Fund Denmark is investing DKK 24.6 million (EUR 3.3 million) in a new Danish research project that will convert industrial waste gases into valuable low-carbon products at scale. The project aims to establish a national platform for continuous gas-based biomanufacturing and strengthen Denmark’s global position in industrial biotechnology.
The initiative addresses one of the key bottlenecks in the green transition: the lack of efficient, scalable infrastructure for converting CO₂ and other industrial gases into sustainable products. The Gas2X research and innovation project is designed to address this challenge.
The new gas fermentation platform will be installed at Unibio’s Innovation Centre in Kalundborg, where the company’s U-Loop® technology is used to convert methane into sustainable protein.
By using Unibio’s advanced U-Loop® bioreactor technology, the project partners will develop a continuous gas fermentation pilot platform specifically designed for gaseous substrates. The goal is to create a more energy-efficient and scalable alternative to conventional fermentation systems, which are typically poorly suited to gas-based production.
“The potential of gas fermentation is enormous, but the lack of scalable solutions has been a major barrier. With this project, we are taking an important step toward making biobased production from waste gases an industrial reality,” says Jens Dynesen, CSO, at Unibio A/S.
From waste gas to sustainable products
The new platform will enable the conversion of CO₂, CO, H₂ and methane into low-carbon chemicals and materials. It will serve both as a process development facility for companies working with gas fermentation and as a Carbon Capture and Utilisation test site for industries seeking to valorise their waste gas streams.
The project responds to the urgent need for technologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from hard-to-abate sectors that continue to rely heavily on fossil carbon. These industries account for a significant share of global emissions and are central to achieving Danish and international climate ambitions.
Efficient technology with a lower climate footprint
During the project, the partners will optimise mass transfer, reactor design and continuous operation to demonstrate high productivity with low energy consumption. Unibio’s superior vertical loop bioreactor is expected to deliver significantly improved gas-to-liquid transfer and greater flexibility across different gas sources compared with existing technologies.
As a result, the project is expected to support national climate ambitions through new Carbon Capture and Utilization solutions, accelerate industrial decarbonization, and create new opportunities for growth, exports and global technological leadership.
The project is a collaboration between Unibio A/S and Again and is funded by Innovation Fund Denmark.
Unibio ranked among top presenters at Tech Tour Bio-based Industries 2025
Unibio was named one of the top presenters at the Tech Tour Bio-based Industries 2025 event. The event took place on 13 November in Wuppertal, Germany, where 38 companies out of 150 applicants showcased advances in the bio-based economy, bringing together innovators from across the sector.
David Henstrom represented Unibio in the Agriculture and Food & Feed Products session with a five-minute pitch. Out of the 38 companies invited to participate, we were honored to be selected among the top eight presenters, recognized for delivering a sustainable, cost-effective, and scalable protein solution for the aquaculture industry.
Reflecting on the event, David shared: ‘Thrilled to have participated in this event and seeing the investor interest in our forward-thinking solution we are bringing to the market.’
The eight companies selected as Top Presenters were chosen from a field of 38 promising innovators whose solutions impressed the expert jury with their vision, sustainability impact, and potential to advance the bio-based industry.
Unibio International PLC welcomes a new Board member!
We are delighted to welcome Petter Østbø from Atlas Agro to the Board of Unibio International PLC from 1 March.
Petter, Founder and CEO of Atlas Agro, the renewable fertiliser company, is a distinguished leader in agriculture and business, known for his commitment to innovation and sustainability in the agricultural sector.
He has a track record of managing large-scale production facilities, leading billion-dollar productivity transformations, and advancing sustainable agricultural practices. His strong background in EPCs, projects, project finance and equity finance are areas which will lend strength to Unibio as it grows.
We look forward to working closely with Petter!
