    Job Type: Full-time

    Company DescriptionBy taking NovoNutrients gas fermentation processes from floor-scale to near-term pilot to eventual commercial scales, we are creating low-carbon feed and food sources for the planet. We use bacteria that can capture CO2 using hydrogen energy, to produce food and feed products. NovoNutrients operates one of the world's leading and largest hydrogen-based biosynthesis laboratories, with bioreactors from 250ml to 55L. We have successfully developed and scaled non-GMO single cell protein and created GMO bacterial expression products. The company has developed core IP and is preparing to deploy pilot scale systems in the near term.
