Under the headings "Power-to-Protein" and "Power-to-Vitamin," biotechnological processes are being developed in which microbes use energy to produce proteins and vitamins for human consumption from basic chemical ingredients such as carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and oxygen—entirely without livestock farming or agriculture. One such process, which also produces vitamin B9 (folic acid) in addition to proteins, has already been optimized in the laborat…
