This high-tech ‘hyper-fermentation’ plant shows the future of manufacturing

Fermentation isn’t just a way to brew beer or make sauerkraut. At a commercial scale and using precisely engineered microorganisms, this natural process can transform simple and sustainable inputs into a wide range of products, from proteins for sports and infant nutrition, to chemicals for sustainable aviation fuel. Australian start-up Cauldron has developed a way to scale this technology, boost its efficiency and bring down the cost of its end products.
