What we do

We have developed a way to produce and re-create fats and oils in a vegan, sustainable way. It’s the same type of fats that plants and animals produce—but made without agriculture.

A Sustainable Way to Feed the World

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), there will be 10 billion people living on Earth by the year 2050. With resources already growing scarce, we need to find a way to feed all these people without destroying the world in the process.

Alternative fats are part of the solution.

With the Green-On process we can replicate animal or plant based products down to the very last molecule, or create completely new compounds, all in the lab. Making everything vegan, everything cruelty-free, everything sustainable.

The Power-to-Food Process
Step 1: Power

Add sustainably sourced electricity, a minimum amount of water, and carbon dioxide from the air or even from third-party industrial emissions.

Step 2: Process

Chemically syntesize molecules like fatty acids or triglycerides. Tweak the process depending on end-product needs to create different oil and fat substitutes.

Step 3: Product

Use E-fat as a sustainable substitute ingredient in things like cheese, chocolate, shortening, cooking oil, ice-cream, pastries, sausages, and more.

8 Reasons for Green-On Solutions
Why Green-On’s alternative fats and oils? What are the real world benefits to using the power-to-food process to create hard fat for food, sweets and other products? Here are a few key highlights:
  • No arable land
  • No fertilizers
  • No pesticides
  • No deforestation
  • Provide food security
  • Use less fresh water
  • Avoid climate-related issues
  • Carbon neutral (going on carbon negative!)

Company's story

Our Specialty
Green-On has developed a process that creates saturated fat from three simple ingredients—carbon dioxide, water, and electricity. It’s no exaggeration to say that we think we could save the world. Or at least help change it for the better. Creating sustainable food ingredients is just the first step.
Our story
In our hearts of hearts, we’re scientists. We believe in facts, figures, and proven results. We also believe in social justice, democracy, and using science to make the world a better place.

Green-On is a Swedish tech start-up that specializes in organic chemistry. We have developed a way to re-create animal- and plant-based fats and oils in the lab, without farming.
