Solarferm aims to produce sugar using gas and microbes
Summary
Solarferm is building a two-step process that converts gas into industrial sugars for fermentation markets. The startup wants to lower glucose costs and reduce supply volatility compared with crop-based sugar inputs. It combines thermochemical conversion with engineered bacteria and is aiming for industrial-scale production. The company has already raised a small pre-seed round and non-dilutive funding and is preparing for a seed round. It is also exploring licensing and co-location models with energy firms and manufacturers.
