NoPalm Ingredients Achieves Industry First: Industrial-Scale Yeast Oil Fermentation from side streams at 120,000L.
We are proud to say that we have achieved a groundbreaking milestone in sustainable ingredient production at NoPalm Ingredients, becoming the first company worldwide to successfully scale yeast-based oil fermentation from food industry side streams to an industrial level of 120,000L. This milestone represents a significant step forward in replacing palm oil and other tropical fats with sustainable, fermentation-derived alternatives.
Partner with Us to integrate sustainable fermentation-derived oils into your products and supply chains.
The successful trial run, conducted at a Contract Manufacturing Organization (CMO), demonstrates the feasibility of NoPalm Ingredients’ proprietary fermentation and downstream processing technology at an industrial scale. This trial has proven the commercial potential of upcycling food industry side streams into high-quality, food-grade oils, offering an alternative that boasts 90% lower CO2 emissions and 99% less land use compared to palm oil.
A Game-Changer for the Global Oils & Fats Market
With global palm oil demand growing by 4% annually and sustainable alternatives falling short, our fermentation-derived oil presents a sustainable and circular solution that can be seamlessly integrated into existing supply chains.
“The execution of the CMO trial is a successful step towards the validation of our process, scaling it from lab and pilot levels to full industrial production scale. This milestone brought together multiple disciplines to demonstrate our end-to-end process—from side stream to oil. Throughout the process, we gained valuable insights to refine our approach and enhance performance at scale.”
Next Steps: Industrial Testing & Commercial Scale-Up
Following this successful scale-up, NoPalm Ingredients is now running industrial-scale trials with commercial partners to validate the oil’s performance in food and personal care applications. These trials are a critical step towards securing commercial contracts and preparing for the construction of NoPalm’s First-of-a-Kind Demo Factory, which will bring production to full commercial scale.

“While completing this industrial-scale trial run is a fantastic achievement in itself, it has also provided valuable insights for our First-of-a-Kind (FOAK) Demonstration Factory. Over the past months, alongside our research activities and preparations for this trial, we have been progressing towards the industrialization of our process. With the first engineering phases for our Demonstration Factory now completed, we will incorporate these learnings into the next phase to further refine our design, maximizing the chances of a seamless ‘vertical start-up’ when commissioning our first factory.”
Shaping the Future of Sustainable Oils
“I have worked most of my career on developing fermentation processes that could be interesting for various industrial parties. Now, I am part of an organization that actually makes it happen, offering an ingredient – fermentation-derived oil - to the market at scale, at price parity and reducing CO2 emissions and land use by an order of magnitude”
As NoPalm Ingredients moves towards market deployment, the company invites brands, manufacturers and investors to be part of the sustainable oil revolution. With a proven, scalable technology and growing commercial interest, NoPalm Ingredients is paving the way for a future where palm oil alternatives are both viable and widely available
