BeneMeat has published a peer-reviewed life cycle assessment (LCA) examining the environmental performance of its cultivated meat production at industrial scale, offering one of the most detailed datasets to date based on primary operational inputs.
• BeneMeat’s LCA used primary data from a 400-600 kg per day industrial-scale facility, moving beyond lab-based assumptions common in previous cultivated meat studies.
• The study found cultivated meat emissions ranged from 3.3 to 6.6 kg CO2 equivalent per kg, depending on inputs and energy scenarios.
• Results showed cultivated meat could achieve comparable or lower environmental impacts than chicken, with significantly lower impacts than pork and beef in several categories.
