Food Out of Thin Air

For the first time in history, humankind can produce food without burdening our home planet.

The new era of food production

Food production, as we know it, is entirely dependent on land and weather conditions. Protein production is a massively disproportionate squanderer of the Earth’s resources. We are now entering the era of sustainable food production to liberate our planet from the burdens of agriculture.

Harvesting natural microscopic food

Our unique bioprocess can grow a single microorganism, one of the billions found in nature, into an endless supply of food with air, electricity and fermentation. This bioprocess may not be traditional, but it is as natural as the air we breathe.

From a vision to concrete action

We lead by example. Our first commercial-scale production facility started operations in Finland in 2024. The designing of our first industrial-scale production facility, Factory 02, is well under way, and it will scale Solein’s production capacity from 160 tons to 6,400 tons annually. Solar Foods is planning a network of factories around the world.
