The Opportunity

Methane is the world's most wasted feedstock.
We turn it into protein —
at industrial scale.

Global protein demand — animal feed, aquaculture, livestock, pet food, and human nutrition — represents a market exceeding $1.5 trillion annually. SCP from methane is the only technology that can scale to meet it without land, water, or overfishing constraints.

Every landfill, every flare site, every biogas source becomes a profitable production facility. The feedstock is global, abundant, and largely wasted today. This is the foundation of a multi-billion-dollar platform.

The market has already signaled its interest — $250M+ invested by the two leading methane-to-protein ventures, neither of which has confirmed industrial viability at commercial volume. EcoBioworks is built to change that — and in doing so, to establish a leadership position in the global alternative protein industry.

EcoBioworks — biology at industrial scale
Our position

The biology is proven. We have the technology to confirm industrial viability — for a fraction of what the industry has spent pursuing it.

Since 2019, EcoBioworks has developed a deploy-ready 20,000 t/y single-cell protein facility. Biology is ready, redesigned with modern industrial technologies in mind.

While others spent hundreds of millions to demonstrate industrial scale, we engineered a path to the same destination for a fraction of the cost, based on existing technology.

The first facility monetizes pipeline natural gas. Landfill gas, associated gas and biogas follow once industrial technology is validated — opening a global deployment network scalable to millions of tons.

The structure

Offtake confirmed.
Financing structured.
Ready to execute.

Offtake for the full 20,000 t/y capacity is confirmed before construction begins. 80% of the full facility is covered by low-interest government industrial financing, triggered by the seed close.

The first stage — approximately 10% of total project cost — validates the technology at industrial scale and unlocks all downstream capital. This is not a pilot. It is the first unit of a replicable global platform.

The Platform

Every side of the plant
has a partner.

The facility is a system with defined interfaces on every side — methane in, protein and CO2 out, built and financed by partners who each gain something different from it. Engineering is complete. Below is where you connect.

Feedstock methane in
Oil & Gas
Firm baseload gas offtake. Associated and flared gas monetized, methane-intensity credentials, and a raw commodity upgraded into a protein product.
Biogas, RNG, landfill & wastewater
Co-location converts a low-value gas stream into a high-value product at the point of generation.
Product protein and CO2 out
Feed manufacturers
Aquafeed, petfood and livestock formulators. A marine-independent protein with fishmeal-parity performance and pricing decoupled from catch.
CO2 offtakers
Fermenter off-gas is high-purity by process design — capture-ready without separation from flue gas.
Delivery built and sited
Government developers
Strategic industry development: food security, methane utilization, value-added processing of domestic raw materials, non-extractive export capacity.
EPC
An engineering-complete, deployable solution to carry to industrial clients holding stranded gas or methane liabilities.
Capital funding the build
Deep tech VC
Proven biology, engineering complete, replicable unit economics, and a defined path from first facility to millions of tons.
Climate & methane-abatement funds
Direct methane utilization with measurable abatement, in the best-funded corner of climate capital.
Development finance & export credit agencies
Mandate fit across food security, methane abatement and industrial diversification. Concessional, long-tenor capital for exactly this asset class.
Commodity traders
Positions on both sides of the plant: methane in, protein out.
Integration the staged biorefinery · designed-in interfaces
Fuel cell power
8 MW baseload behind the meter, DC-native, with nitrogen-free anode exhaust that makes CO2 capture straightforward rather than a retrofit.
Green ammonia
A defined nitrogen demand at every replication site, gated behind on-site clean power.
