Innovative Synthetic Food Ingredients
Green-On Processes Carbon Dioxide into Something Usable
Kalin Ned — September 22, 2025
As a company, Green-On is focused on producing synthetic food ingredients through a chemical engineering approach known as 'Power-to-X.' The core technology involves using electricity to facilitate a reaction between carbon dioxide and water, which results in the creation of fundamental fat molecules like fatty acids and triglycerides.
The company emphasizes that this method operates independently of conventional agriculture. As such, it requires no farmland, pesticides, or fertilizers. Green-On harnesses atmospheric or industrial CO2 as a primary raw material. The end goal is to create versatile fat and oil substitutes that can molecularly mimic existing products, such as palm oil or dairy fats, or be engineered as entirely new synthetic food ingredients. An additional noted aspect is the generation of by-products suitable for creating fossil-fuel-free plastics.
