Presenting at the Centre for Alternative Technology
Whilst wind and solar were the real alternatives when CAT first started in the 1970’s in Wales, we’re now exploring future-proofing technologies that previous generations could only dream of.
We had the pleasure of presenting our work on microbial oils as replacements for tropical oils, such as our drop-in substitute to cocoa butter.
Our Sustainability Mission
Palm oil was the original inspiration for Sun Bear Biofuture. It is responsible for over 500 million tonnes of carbon annually and is the third most impactful food humans produce, after meat and dairy. It is a great ingredient and has unique properties that have helped its popularity explode. Now we need a commercially viable alternative to enable the growth coming from our population expansion to 10 billion by 2050.
