Planetary is the bioeconomy’s industrial production backbone: We build, own, and operate a global network of fermentation facilities to facilitate the production of sustainable bio-based products such as foods and materials at commercial scale. We are commercializing our proprietary BioBlocks fermentation platform, which delivers bioprocess innovation such as AI-coupled monitoring and control systems with large-scale production to a wide range of customers. Planetary is actively partnering with the sugar industry to offer symbiotic valorization opportunities to their production streams. By leveraging advances in the BioBlocks platform, Planetary has developed a flexible bioprocess to turn low-value side-streams into high-value bio-based products such as mycoprotein.
