Prometheus

The Prometheus project is set to revolutionize animal feed production through an innovative approach that leverages the wide availability of methanol as a feedstock. By transforming methanol into a high-protein biomass via proprietary advanced fermentation processes, Prometheus offers a sustainable, cost-effective, and resilient alternative to traditional feed sources such as soy and fishmeal. Prometheus technology employs ACIES’ proprietary fastest-growing methanol microorganism that efficiently convert methanol into a biomass with a remarkable 77% protein content. Prometheus feed surpasses the nutritional profiles of conventional feeds, offering a superior amino acid composition ideal for both livestock and aquaculture. The emergence of renewable methanol production technologies promises virtually endless methanol production capacity while acting as a carbon sink, aligning with global sustainability goals. Unlike conventional feed production, which relies on crops like soy or on depleted fish stocks, Prometheus' methanol-based approach ensures a stable supply chain and minimizes exposure to environmental uncertainties (such as drought, hail and El Nino), thereby significantly reducing operational risks. Moreover, the technology is non-GMO, addressing consumer and regulatory concerns and making it easier to penetrate markets that are increasingly leaning towards sustainable and ethically produced feeds. Economically, the Prometheus feed production process is designed to be highly efficient. Initial investments in a Prometheus production facility are projected to yield rapid returns due to the low cost of production and the high market value of the feed produced. Overall, Prometheus represents an alternative future feed solution, ready to address the global protein deficit and support food security in an environmentally conscious manner.
