Palm oil is present in many enthalten products – von Lebensmitteln bis hin zu Kosmetikartikeln. This is the best way to trade and use Pflanzen oil worldwide. For the production of palm oils we go to Flächen in Regenwäldern gerodet. Die Produktion is also something else entirely, denn sie ist a triber for the Erderwärmung and a Grund for the Rückgang der Artenvielfalt. “Die Nachfrage nachhaltigem Palmöl in Produktion and Konsum ist nur schwer zu bedienen”, schreibt das Bundesamt. Kein Wunder: Palm oil is billig.

So the technology is functional

The startup Colipi was created here. The work team of Philipp Arbter, Tyll Utesch, Jonas Heuer and Maximilian Webers has created a new alternative to palm oil. Es wandelt CO2, sprich Kohlendioxid, mittels Fermentation en Öle um. Dafür sorgt ein Bakterium, das in Vulcanen vorkommt et nur Sauerstoff, Wasserstoff et CO2 benötigt. Bei Colipi passes the process in a gas fermentation bioreactor.

For this project, the team also created a patent. This technology extracts Colipi from the oil within the products of the industrial industry, produced by fermentation.

The startup describes a “brauerei für Öle”. Its final product is none other than “Climate Oil”. These also include Rohstoff für Lebensmittel, Kosmetika, E-Fuels and Bio-Kunststoffe. “More than 2 billion tons of CO2 will be produced by 2050 thanks to our technology which is both atmospheric and wastewater protection in wastewater,” said the Gründer in its award project for the Gründerszene Awards.

Derzeit verkaufe Colipi sein Öl als Produktproben an Unternehmen, comme Webers dans un Discussion by Future Hamburg von Ende September sagt. Damit wolle das Startup Vertrauen schaffen, as ihr genauso gut funktioniere, wie zum Beispiel the Palmöl in den Produkten, et Abnahmevereinbarungen treffen, sobald in großem Maßstab produziert werde. Denn bislang extrahiere Colipi fünf Liter Öl pro Woche.

Die nächsten Schritte für Colipi sind weitere Financial amount zu erhalten et la Technologien zur Marktreife zu bringen – sprich einmal Öl aus Nebenprodukten et einmal Öl aus CO2. The startup management model is based on a licensing model. Heist, Unternehmen, the old CO2 verursachen, können die Maschinen von Colipi Bauen et somit Öl herstellen.
