Dive Brief: Cell-based meat could cause up to 92% less global warming, 93% less air pollution and use up to 95% less land and 78% less water compared to conventional beef production, according to a pair ofnew studies by CE Delft. The studies were commissioned by the Good Food Institute and European animal rights group GAIA. The two studies also found by 2030, cost of cell-based meat production could drop to $2.57 per pound based on scaling and renewable energy. The studies, which conduct a life-cycle assessment and a techno-economic estimate of the nascent meat production process, use actual data from several companies in the space.
