Hyfe——公司正在改变食品加工废水为原料为生物和干净的水,最近宣布了一项超额认购900万美元种子投资由合成资本。和其他参与的投资者包括发动机、重构资本、资本供给变化,水上的企业,企业X因素,和校友企业。迄今为止该公司的资金是1100万美元,其中包括一个超额认购计划由发动机在2022年4月。和Hyfe将使用新的资金来推动选择商业伙伴关系,员工人数增加一倍,进展半工业规模技术示范。合成资本联合创始人和合伙人罗西瓦尔德也将加入公司董事会。为生物提供了一个路径脱碳等重要工业领域食品、燃料、材料、和化学物质,减轻至少3 GT是预测到2030年每年的碳排放。但该行业很难与现任竞争过程依赖化石资源,畜牧业和森林砍伐。糖原料的成本和供应用于生物处理是一个主要的障碍,实现价格平价和葡萄糖bioeconomy是预测的需求超过供应在未来10到20年。和至关重要的原料将力量增长来自于充分利用废弃物碳流具有成本效益的,非竞争性与食物,避免破坏的农业系统。即使其他公司一直在努力将固体食物和农业废弃物转化为发酵原料,Hyfe利用他们丰富的经验在废水处理和fermentation-enabled浪费开发原料从食品加工废水稳定物价,丰富和尚未开发的碳源,使:——食品和饮料制造商大大降低废水处理成本和增加水的重用,从而提高水弹性和整体运营费用。 — Biomanufacturers to access more sustainable, affordable feedstocks, which account for the majority of fermentation operating expenses and are vulnerable to supply chain disruptions. — The planet to benefit from increasingly carbon-negative manufacturing all along the supply chain, starting with diverting organic loads entering traditional wastewater treatment, a process that accounts for up to 1.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions in the form of methane, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides. Hyfé’s technology processes nutrient building blocks from wastewater into easy-to-metabolize feedstocks for bioprocesses. And they are engineering solutions to key bottlenecks in alternative feedstock development: compositional variability, availability, and lack of data. KEY QUOTES: “Biomanufacturing has the potential to solve some of the most pressing challenges facing humanity, but first it needs to be made economically viable. We are building a solution that addresses a fundamental bottleneck for the bioeconomy just as it’s reaching an inflection point. This historic moment is as pivotal as the invention of the steam engine, the age of science and mass production, and the rise of digital technology.” — Michelle Ruiz, co-founder and CEO of Hyfé “The future bioeconomy will be worth at least $4 trillion, and up to $30 trillion globally. We have a timely opportunity to propel this growth through the development of cost-efficient and sustainable feedstocks. We’re thrilled to support Hyfé, a leader in the biomanufacturing revolution, in their next phase of growth, applying their technology to power the development of more sustainable products across sectors through bioproduction. This is something the world desperately needs to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, revitalize the manufacturing sector, strengthen our supply chains, and improve our health and environment.” — Rosie Wardle, co-founder and partner at Synthesis Capital Trending on Pulse 2.0
