About Unibio
Unibio is a leading sustainable protein company, that has developed a fermentation technology – the U-Loop® – to produce Uniprotein®, a high-quality protein. The technology which has been scaled up to an industrial scale and is being rolled out globally, uses methane, such as natural gas and biogas as feedstock. It is Unibio’s mission to become the food of the future through the provision of secure and sustainable protein for farming and fishing feed.
Unibio’s technology is highly resource efficient and sustainable. The process replicates the same process that happens every day in nature. Unibio is headquartered in Roskilde near Copenhagen in Denmark, where it also has its Research & Development centre. Unibio’s Innovation centre with a pilot and demo plant is located in Kalundborg west of Copenhagen.
About U-Loop® technology
Unibio’s patented U-Loop® technology uses a continuous-flow fermentation process to mimic a process that occurs in nature every day and uses gases, including methane to produce Uniprotein®. Through its proprietary process, microbes grow with methane as feedstock, and they are turned into single-cell protein – Uniprotein® that is subsequently treated and purified to a nutritious, high-quality feed grade. Unibio owns the intellectual property rights to the U-Loop® technology.
