One Platform, Two Carbon Interfaces
Direct CO₂/H₂ fermentation is Eden’s selected Phase 1 protein pathway. A future acetate interface could expand the platform to selected fungi, yeast, and algae after the protein route is validated.
Software, pathway models, experiment workflow, and evidence controls are built.
Facility, gas safety, organism down-selection, controlled runs, and independent assays come next.
Program readout 01
Direct gas-fed protein — Phase 1
Eden’s current protein program uses conditioned CO₂ and electricity-derived H₂ directly in microbial fermentation. This is the selected Phase 1 route for protein-rich biomass.
- Declared carbon origin, contaminants, conditioning, electricity source, water, nutrients, and opportunity cost
- Controlled fermentation, recovery, lot traceability, assays, and resource accounting
- Digital-twin feedback that remains labeled as modeled until bench data exists
Program readout 02
Liquid-carbon expansion — Phase 2+
A future electrochemical acetate pathway could provide a storable liquid feedstock for selected fungi, yeast, and algae, broadening Eden into texture, cultured ingredients, lipids, and specialty food components.
Program readout 03
Why the platform uses both
Direct hydrogen fermentation prioritizes protein production. Acetate prioritizes biological and product flexibility. The architecture assigns each interface a clear role without presenting them as interchangeable.
- Current: direct CO₂/H₂ protein validation
- Later: acetate-enabled organism and product diversification
