The building of the world’s largest bioreactors to produce cultivated meat has been announced, with the potential to supply tens of thousands of shops and restaurants. Experts said the move could be a “gamechanger” for the nascent industry.
The US company Good Meat said the bioreactors would grow more than 13,000 tonnes of chicken and beef a year. It will use cells taken from cell banks or eggs, so the meat will not require the slaughter of any livestock.
There are about 170 companies around the world working on cultured meat, but Good Meat is the only company to have gained regulatory approval to sell its product to the public. It began serving cultivated chicken in Singapore in December 2020.
Cattle, chicken and other livestock have a huge environmental impact due to methane emissions, the destruction of forests and water use. The consumption of conventional meat in rich nations must fall dramatically to beat the climate crisis, scientists say. Proponents of cultivated meat say it can provide the same taste and feel as conventional meat but with a far smaller environmental impact.
The creation of Good Meat’s 10 new bioreactors is under way, the company says, each of which has a capacity of 250,000 litres and will stand four storeys tall, far bigger than any constructed to date. The US site for the facility is due to be finalised within three months and operational in late 2024, reaching 11,800 tonnes a year by 2026 and 13,700 tonnes by 2030.
The bioreactors are being manufactured as part of an agreement with ABEC, a leading bioprocess equipment manufacturer

or any other 'impossible' Meat either
Saving nature by perverting it. Sounds logical.
Yikes
I don’t want a double cheeseburger made with any of that!
Seen at least a couple of these movies before....
Right, Soylent Green is people.
Woohoo, you get to kill the same animal over and over again, infinitely...
This group has a problem with killing animals but I’m sure no problem keeping Planned Parenthood open.
Your grandchildren might ask that because they come from a genealogical line of nincompoops. Mine will still be hunting, fishing and processing meat they killed, caught or bought. I don't see many people enjoying "meat" slurry at an expensive steak house.
Problem is that consumers might never be told they are being served phony “meat.”
No thanks.
And if successful, the next step will be to ban real farming, to “ save the animals” and the activists will have the government confiscating livestock. Then if that gets going, farmers quit breeding livestock, and the various breeds go extinct until domestic livestock are only to be found in the hands of the elite as pets, and most people are entirely dependent on their beef, pork or poultry patty “subscription” because killing anything to eat will get people thrown in jail for cruelty to animals. That will be like their electric car privilege monthly subscription, phone subscription, etc. Then Marxists will finally be happy since they get to eliminate yet another form of private property.
Where do you find these “tortured animals”?
Couldn’t they shake the vat a lot to obtain the same flavor.
Shaken slurry, not stirred.
Could be. With Leftists in control, I can imagine all kinds of dystopian futures. Communism in the Soviet Union might be very mild by comparison.
Watch for the bankruptcy filing coming soon!
They’ll ban faring because of cow farts - thats really an agenda item for the enviroweenies, which now masquerade as the WEF
