SuperMeat's Continuous Production Process Fuels Carbon-Efficiency Leap
TEL AVIV, ISRAEL / ACCESSWIRE / March 20, 2024 / SuperMeat, a food-tech company dedicated to supplying the world with high-quality cultivated meat, today shared industry-first, forward-looking projections for cultivated chicken based on its landmark continuous production process, outperforming the ambitious benchmarks set for conventional chicken at the start of the next decade.

The Life-Cycle Analysis (LCA) was conducted by CE Delft, an independent sustainability research and consultancy firm, to evaluate the anticipated environmental impact of a large-scale production of SuperMeat's cultivated chicken, offering a glimpse into the future of sustainable meat production.
The assessment provides a detailed comparative analysis between SuperMeat's 100% cultivated chicken and the most sustainably produced traditional chicken aspired for the outset of the 2030s.
SuperMeat's cultivated chicken is projected to achieve a carbon footprint approximately 50% lower than the ambitious benchmarks set for conventional chicken production, when integrating renewable energy sources and sustainable production practices in both conventional and cultivated production methods. Even under the reliance on standard grid electricity, a 27% reduction in the carbon footprint of SuperMeat's chicken is achieved, in comparison to the ambitious conventional chicken benchmark.
This analysis not only showcases the advantages of cultivated meat compared to conventional methods, but shows, for the first time, that cultivated meat could drastically improve the most carbon-efficient form of animal protein available today - chicken - in carbon efficiency and across numerous other measures.
Key findings:
- Reduced Environmental Impact: SuperMeat's cultivated chicken marks a significant 47% reduction in carbon footprint, a 64% decrease in fine particulate matter formation, an 85% lessening in terrestrial acidification, and a 90% cutback in land use compared to traditional chicken farming.
- Enhanced Feed-to-Meat Efficiency: SuperMeat's chicken product exhibits a lower Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) than conventional meats, demonstrating superior efficiency in transforming feed into meat. Specifically, SuperMeat's FCR is estimated at around 1 vs. 2.8 for chicken, almost three times more efficient.
A Highly Efficient Production Process Fuels SuperMeat's Sustainability Milestones:
SuperMeat's continuous production process will be instrumental in achieving the expected sustainability outcomes for its cultivated chicken. The foundation of this analysis is based on practices currently in place at SuperMeat's pilot plant, underscoring the current effectiveness and feasibility of this approach. The continuous production process allows for significantly higher yields - up to nine times greater than a fed-batch process based on SuperMeat's data - and is more energy-efficient than fed-batch processes. Moreover, the adoption of high cell densities and the use of spent media in SuperMeat's process contribute to a favorable feed-to-kg conversion rate. These breakthroughs in cellular agriculture are expected to enable SuperMeat to set these sustainability standards when producing at a commercial scale.
"Efficiency in meat production is no longer a goal; it's a necessity," said SuperMeat's CEO Ido Savir. "Our pilot plant is the proving ground for SuperMeat's vision of efficiency and sustainability. Through continuous production, we've showcased the potential to dramatically increase yields while reducing our environmental footprint, a testament to our dedication to advancing meat production."
Moving Forward:
SuperMeat remains dedicated to pioneering advancements in sustainable meat production, and will use this LCA as a strategic guide for planning its large-scale production facilities, with a focus on incorporating renewable energy, establishing a sustainable supply chain and enhancing production processes.

About SuperMeat:
SuperMeat stands at the forefront of the cultivated meat sector, championing the move towards sustainable, nutritious, and animal-friendly meat production. The company has established a pivotal continuous process, setting a new standard in the production of cultivated meat. SuperMeat has formed strategic partnerships with leading food companies, underscoring its commitment to working together to create a better food system.
Methodology
The research methodology behind SuperMeat's Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) employs a systematic approach to evaluate the environmental impact of its cultivated chicken product.
The LCA, anchored in the goal and scope definition per ISO 14044 standards, emphasizes an ex-ante approach, comparing SuperMeat's future production to 2030 ambitious benchmarks for conventional chicken. SuperMeat provided estimates based on specific technological data and efficiency metrics for its large-scale production. The analysis adopts a cradle-to-gate perspective, accounting for all relevant environmental extractions and emissions up to the point of leaving the production facility, including packaging. The assessment critically examines global warming potential among other key environmental metrics, using established environmental databases, ensuring a comprehensive and forward-looking analysis of SuperMeat's environmental practices.

OMP Extends UnisonIQ with Agent Library and Agent Studio: AI Agents that Produce Executable Supply Chain Plans3.11.2026 15:00:00 CET | Press release
ANTWERPEN, BE / ACCESS Newswire / November 3, 2026 / OMP, a leader in supply chain orchestration, today extended UnisonIQ, the AI framework in its Unison Planning™ platform, with the Agent Library of ready-to-deploy AI agents and Agent Studio, where companies build their own. The agents run on the optimization engines in Unison Planning™ and produce executable supply chain plans. Bekaert is among the early adopters of UnisonIQ. Supply chain organizations face board-level pressure to show progress on AI, but many struggle to move beyond experiments. Generic AI models and decision-intelligence tools miss the industry-specific context and semantics that planning depends on, while planning tools with an AI layer on top lack reasoning depth. Both can produce a confident answer that ignores real-world constraints such as shelf life, co-products, and shared capacity. In UnisonIQ, by contrast, each agent works from a reality-based digital twin of the customer's own supply chain and calls on th

IXOPAY Announces IXO One, a Modular Payments Platform Built for an Era of Fluid Commerce3.11.2026 10:00:00 CET | Press release
DALLAS, TX / ACCESS Newswire / November 3, 2026 / IXOPAY, the leader in payment infrastructure enabling fluid commerce, today announced the launch of IXO One, an AI-native, modular payment platform that unifies orchestration, payments intelligence, and tokenization. It gives merchants the flexibility to buy what they need, build what they want, and adapt as commerce evolves. Built to power an era of fluid commerce and technology-driven payment experiences, IXO One provides the dynamic infrastructure needed to adapt quickly without ripping out or replacing their current payment stack. Traditional payment infrastructure makes it difficult for merchants to embrace fluid commerce and a rapidly changing payment market. From fragmented systems to rigid provider relationships, a new opportunity can require a heavy integration lift, slow time-to-market, and increased costs. IXO One's modular platform helps merchants mitigate the payment friction that leads to provider dependency, expensive mig
