The Potential of Urban Organic Waste Utilization as Neo Carbon Food

Abstract

Majority of the urban society has a problem with their organic waste. One alternative urban waste utilization as food production can be obtained by producing Single Cell Protein (SCP) through Neo-Carbon Food (NCF). NCF is a single cell production based on microorganisms using CO2 emissions and urban organic waste as the main raw material for hydrogen oxidizing bacterial growth. NCF are potential because contain high protein, requiring less land and water, reducing pollutions and the GHG emissions. So, NCF can decrease GHG emmisions to overcome climate change and also as sustainable food.
