String Bio Shows How Methane can be converted into Biostimulants for Crops
Fistly, we discuss about the, String Bio, which is the one of the world leaders in gas fermentation, has had a strong IP (intellectual property) protected platform called String Integrated Methane Platform from 2014, that has the capacity of the fermentation of high-quality substituent from methane.
String Bio, a Bengaluru-based company, has started a program for transfer of methane into different solutions such as biostimulants for crops, animal feed, and alternative protein for human consumption in order to lower the release of the greenhouse gas that is 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide.
There is no another company like String Bio. It is the only one company in the world with a commercial solution for such a technology. This company permits for the development of carbon-friendly products which are used as greenhouse gas as a raw material. Global competitors, on the other hand, use methane from natural gas in their method or technique.
Biostimulant Products -
As per the Ezhil Subbian, Founder and CEO, String Biomethane conversion has aided String Bio in producing a pipeline of products for many end markets, starting with crop inputs for agriculture. ImpaKt TM is a peptide based biostimulant, and CleanRise TM is a microbial-based biostimulant, both of which are used in sustainable food production.
Ezhil Subbian says that - Both products are methane-derived, chemical-free natural biostimulants with a variety of effects on plant growth, containing rising vegetative growth, improved root development, improved soil health, stress tolerance, and increased yield. They address the growing requirement for increased agricultural productivity and decreases greenhouse gas emissions.
Carbon-Friendly
Impakt is made up of methane through the process of a patented fermentation process. The use of strongest greenhouse gases in the production of crop inputs produces the end material or product carbon friendly. The use of the products applicable for the farmer, consumer, plant, and the environment. The use of Impakt has rised groundnut yield by 25 percentage and tomato and marigold yield by 20 to 30 percentage, as per the data of String Bio's CEO.
These substituents are suitable for the both conventional and organic farming processes. The Bengaluru-based company has also improved a protein substituent for animal nutrition - PROfit/PRO-DG as well as a similar protein substituent for human nutrition.
Attracting Attention
Those who have worked with String Bio have been surprised by its platform's capacity to change a gaseous substances like methane into a solid substances like protein through the fermentation process. According to the Ezhil Subbian , the science behind the change has piqued the interest of people of all ages.
String Bio's co-founder and CEO said that - When we first time starting discussing about the microbial protein, we had to teach our audience. We had a series of questions ranging from 'How is your protein different from paneer?' to the end with question 'Can you make sushi with this protein? The overall landscape has changed dramatically over the last five years. The average urban customer is much more aware of alternative protein and their impact today.
