"process uses tail gas containing carbon monoxide and dioxide... to create a synthesised cell protein called Clostridium autoethanogenum... the gases go through a series of processes including fermentation, oxidation, distillation and dehydration that converts the nitrogen and carbon into organic material... natural synthesis of proteins... is slow and inefficient, resulting in a low protein content... new process can overcome these barriers and produce a high-protein material in just 22 seconds"
