Bioengineering may soon provide compelling, low-carbon alternatives in industries where even the best methods produce significant emissions. Utilizing natural and engineered biological process has led to low-carbon textiles from AlgiKnit, cell-cultured premium meats from Orbillion and fuels captured from waste emissions via LanzaTech \u2014 and leaders from those companies will be joining us onstage for the Extreme Tech Challenge Global Finals on July 22<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re co-hosting the event, with panels like this one all day and a pitch-off that will feature a number of innovative startups with a sustainability angle.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll be moderating a panel on using bioengineering to create change directly in industries with large carbon footprints: textiles, meat production and manufacturing.<\/p>\n

AlgiKnit<\/a> is a startup that is sourcing raw material for fabric from kelp, which is an eco-friendly alternative to textile crop monocultures and artificial materials like acrylic. CEO Aaron Nesser will speak to the challenge of breaking into this established industry and overcoming preconceived notions of what an algae-derived fabric might be like (spoiler: it\u2019s like any other fabric).<\/p>\n

Orbillion Bio<\/a> is one of the new crop of alternative protein companies offering cell-cultured meats (just don\u2019t call them \u201clab\u201d or \u201cvat\u201d grown) to offset the incredibly wasteful livestock industry. But it\u2019s more than just growing a steak \u2014 there are regulatory and market barriers aplenty that CEO Patricia Bubner can speak to, as well as the technical challenge.<\/p>\n

LanzaTech<\/a> works with factories to capture emissions as they\u2019re emitted, collecting the useful particles that would otherwise clutter the atmosphere and repurposing them in the form of premium fuels. This is a delicate and complex process that needs to be a partnership, not just a retrofitting operation, so CEO Jennifer Holmgren will speak to their approach convincing the industry to work with them at the ground floor.<\/p>\n

It should be a very interesting conversation, so tune in on July 22 to hear these and other industry leaders focused on sustainability discuss how innovation at the startup level can contribute to the fight against climate change. Plus it\u2019s free!<\/a><\/p>\n
