NEWS 6 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE December 2022 Royal DSM, a global purpose-led science-based company active in Health, Nutrition and Bioscience, began construction of a new manufacturing facility at its site in Dalry, Scotland. The plant will significantly increase global production of Bovaer®, DSM's unique methane-reducing feed additive for cattle. In an official groundbreaking ceremony attended by the First Minister of Scotland, Nicola Sturgeon, and Dimitri de Vreeze, Co-CEO of DSM, the company marked the next step in its plan to use Bovaer® to reduce global methane emissions and contribute to worldwide methane reduction targets. DSM announced that planning had started during the UN Climate Change Conference last year in Glasgow. Construction officially began today on a facility that will help DSM scale-up production of Bovaer® in the coming years and marks another milestone in the company's ambition to bring its methane-reducing feed additive to the market worldwide. This development of DSM's Dalry site has been supported by the Scottish Government through Scottish Enterprise, the national agency supporting economic development and innovation. Reducing methane emissions is crucial for keeping DSM starts construction of production facility for Bovaer® DSM announced that it has started construction of large scale production facility for its novel methane-reducing feed additive for ruminants, Bovaer® in Scotland. Calysseo, a joint venture between world-leading alternative protein company Calysta and worldwide animal nutrition leader Adisseo, has announced it intends to build an alternative protein facility in Al Jubail in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in partnership with Food Caravan. Advanced discussions and detailed planning are underway between the partners, who have formalised their intent to move forward with a development in the country. The partnership is aiming to build a 100,000 tonne-capacity fermenter in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to produce Calysta’s novel protein ingredients, which require no animal or plant ingredients to produce. It is hoped the facility could become operational by the end of 2026, pending necessary construction and approvals. Confirmation over the intent to build comes after Calysseo announced it has successfully switched on its maiden 20,000 tonne fermenter in China, which will produce FeedKind® Aqua protein for the aquaculture market. The KSA facility would be five times the size of the current Chinese fermenter. “Our mission is to help the world meet one of its most pressing goals – feeding a global population that’s set to hit 10 billion by 2050. To do that, we need more sustainable protein, and to produce protein in places we are not currently able to. That’s what’s so exciting about the possibility of a Calysseo facility in KSA,” said Alan Shaw, CEO, President, and co-founder of Calysta. “This would be our second industrial-scale plant and an important step on delivering enough sustainable protein to meet growing and pressing global demand. Our patented fermentation technology is proven to produce a high-quality protein ingredient and thanks to the efficiencies of using a naturally occurring bacteria process, we are ready to rapidly scale up and meet that demand.” Read more>> Calysta and Adisseo partnership plans to build alternative protein facility in Saudi Arabia
