Jooules
Over 90% of wild fisheries are now at or over their sustainable limits, yet the demand for protein continues to increase. Aquaculture has grown to become an essential source of protein, however the industry is still heavily reliant on wild-caught fish for feed, perpetuating the overfishing crisis and further eroding food system resilience. Jooules is breaking this cycle by unlocking protein potential. By using innovative techniques in gaseous fermentation and harnessing the power of ancient microbes we’re transforming CO2 emissions into high-performance protein ingredients for aquaculture feed. Instead of depleting our oceans and finite resources we’re turning a problematic greenhouse gas into the protein the world desperately needs. We're not just feeding fish—we're enabling a future where food production is our climate and oceans' solution.
