1Solar Foods
TypeDirect peer
Description

Solar Foods (Finland) produces Solein single-cell protein via gas fermentation using CO₂, water, and renewable electricity — the closest direct technical comparison to Deep Branch's CO₂-utilization platform for food-grade biomass protein.

2Air Protein
TypeDirect peer
Description

Air Protein (California) uses hydrogen-oxidizing bacteria to convert CO₂ into single-cell protein — a parallel precision-fermentation air-protein platform competing in the same regulatory and customer categories as Deep Branch.

3LanzaTech
TypeBroad incumbent
Description

LanzaTech operates the most commercially advanced gas-fermentation platform (using acetogens on industrial off-gases) — a broad incumbent whose underlying acetogen technology Deep Branch's process is built on, providing a clear scale-up benchmark and licensing path.

4Calysta (now part of bp/Kalmar Ingredients)
TypeBroad incumbent
Description

Calysta commercialized FeedKind gas-fermentation single-cell protein for aquaculture and pet feed — directly comparable use-case targeting to Deep Branch's feed-first strategy with similar methanotroph/acetogen biology.

5Quorn Foods
TypeBroad incumbent
Description

Quorn produces mycoprotein via fungal biomass fermentation (Fusarium venenatum) — a long-established biomass-fermentation protein incumbent supplying mainstream grocery, illustrating the consumer-channel end-state Deep Branch targets.

6Perfect Day
TypeDirect peer
Description

Perfect Day uses precision fermentation of animal proteins (whey/casein) via engineered microbes — a direct competitor in the fermentation-derived protein ingredients category targeting food manufacturers.

7KnipBio
TypeEmerging player

KnipBio develops single-cell protein from engineered microbes for aquaculture feed — overlapping with Deep Branch's feed-first positioning using fermentation biology.

83F Bio
TypeEmerging player
Description

3F Bio (UK) produces mycoprotein via biomass fermentation for food applications — a UK-based emerging alt-protein fermentation peer comparable in geography and feedstock approach.

9Enough (formerly 3F Bio Ltd - Spain subsidiary)
TypeEmerging player

PR NewswireDeep Branch Announces EUR 8M Series A Round led by Novo Holdings and DSM Venturing, Paving the Way for Commercial-Scale Production FacilityDeep Branch, a carbon dioxide recycling company headquartered in the UK, announced the completion of an €8M Series A investment round led by Novo Holdings and DSM Venturing, with participation from Total Carbon Neutrality Ventures and Barclays Sustainable Impact Capital. The funding will support completion of Deep Branch's Scale-Up Hub at Brightlands Chemelot Campus in the Netherlands and enable engineering design for its first commercial-scale production facility targeting commercial production by 2023. The company was recently recognized by the World Economic Forum as one of the world's most impactful, commercially viable scale-ups as part of The Circulars Accelerator.News and jobs from the chemicalProtein-producing microbes to reduce CO2 emissionsDrax is partnering with startup Deep Branch Biotechnology (DBB) to develop a bioenergy carbon capture usage and storage (BECCUS) project aimed at reducing emissions from agriculture by producing proteins for animal feed using captured carbon dioxide. The project will utilize CO2 from the Drax Power Station to create sustainable single-cell proteins, with a pilot plant expected to produce 100 kg of protein for trials with major feed producers by Q3. If successful, the technology has the potential to meet the growing demand for animal feed while minimizing environmental impact.
