The protein synthesis project from gas brought victory to the engineers of an oil and gas company at the Russian final of the CASE-IN championship. Next, the team will present the idea at the international League of Young Professionals, where they will meet with participants from Asia and neighboring countries. New challenges await the national team this fall at the Russian Energy Week in Moscow.

The essence of the method: natural gas, purified air, as well as vitamins and mineral supplements are launched into a nutrient medium with bacteria. The bacteria absorb the gas and increase the biomass as a result of fermentation. Then the resulting feed protein is dried and packaged. It can be used, for example, in animal feed.

"The team's success demonstrates how a non-standard approach to solving a case allows us to see promising business opportunities, mechanisms for reviving technologies using modern approaches. This once again proves the importance of involving young professionals at the stage of developing ideas to generate creative, innovative solutions," said Artem Voivodeanu, CEO of Gazpromneft—Yamal.

According to the oilmen, the jury highly appreciated the proposed technology. And the implementation of the project in practice is a difficult but solvable task.
