Cargill, Incorporated and Calysta, Inc., along with several third-party institutions, plan to invest in the creation of the world\u2019s largest gas fermentation facility in Memphis, Tenn. to produce Calysta\u2019s FeedKind\u00ae protein, a family of sustainable, traceable nutritional ingredients for fish, livestock and pets.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The new venture plans to build and operate this facility on Cargill\u2019s 69-acre property on President\u2019s Island, where Cargill currently produces corn oil and stores and distributes sweetener products. The facility is expected to come online in late 2018, producing up to 20,000 metric tons per year of FeedKind\u00ae protein initially and expanding up to 200,000 metric tons per year when operating at full capacity.<\/p>\n

Upon completion of the plant, the new venture expects to hire 75 permanent employees and expand to 160 people when the plant is at full ramp-up.<\/p>\n

The Memphis Tenn. facility, the world\u2019s largest gas fermentation facility, will produce Calysta\u2019s FeedKind\u00ae protein, a family of sustainable, traceable nutritional ingredients for fish, livestock and pets<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cCargill has been a part of the Memphis community for 40 years. With the strong support of the state of Tennessee, Shelby County and City of Memphis, we are pleased that the venture chose to locate the facility in Memphis,\u201d said Cargill\u2019s Global Vice President of Bioindustrial, Brian Silvey. \u201cThe venture\u2019s building of a state-of-the-art fermentation facility on the existing Cargill Memphis site reaffirms our commitment to the community and state and our pledge to strategically invest in aquaculture as an ever increasingly important source of protein.\u201d<\/p>\n

FeedKind\u00ae protein is a proprietary, competitively priced, new feed ingredient initially targeted as an alternative to fishmeal for the aquaculture industry. It is produced using the world\u2019s only commercially validated gas fermentation process. Cargill and Calysta jointly will be marketing FeedKind\u00ae protein globally.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith a proven and proprietary fermentation platform, Calysta is introducing a scalable and disruptive protein source critical to meeting the needs of a growing global population. Partnering with Cargill, a leader in fermentation and protein production, and others to invest in the establishment of the venture as the first U.S. manufacturing plant to commercially produce FeedKind\u00ae protein, significantly accelerates FeedKind\u00ae protein\u2019s launch in the aquaculture industry at commercial scale. This venture is an important first step to deploying this technology globally,\u201d said Calysta President and Chief Executive Officer, Alan Shaw, Ph.D.<\/p>\n

In September 2016, Calysta opened an R&D and market introduction facility in the United Kingdom to produce samples of FeedKind\u00ae protein that can be used in aquaculture, livestock and pet markets worldwide.<\/p>\n

Cargill employs approximately 274 employees in its corn, cotton, metals, grain, and farmer service businesses across its 14 locations in Tennessee.<\/p>\n
