Solving Climate Challenges through Decentralized Science

+3.1°C
Predicted global temperature increase by end of this century
The Challenge
Climate change is one of the greatest existential threats facing our world today. To address it, we must find sustainable ways to produce essential goods. Climate Biotech offers a solution by using biological organisms to manufacture products such as foods, clothes, fuels, and constructional materials. Advancing these technologies will be critical in building a resilient future.

Our Vision
ValleyDAO is a leading decentralized science platform harnessing rapid blockchain capital formation and tokenized incentives to fund and commercialize cutting-edge climate-biotech research. By linking researchers with a global community of backers, we streamline project selection, accelerate development, and push innovations out of the lab and into deployment.

Research
Cocoa ZERO: Beanless Chocolate, Lighter Footprint
Dr. Rodrigo Ledesma-Amaro
Imperial College London

Cocoa ZERO makes real chocolate taste using precision fermentation, not faraway plantations. We grow cocoa lipids locally in steel tanks, 90 percent matched to cocoa butter, then blend with sustainable beans for bars that melt like classic chocolate with a lighter footprint and a more reliable supply.

Research
Hempy: Wear the Future, Guilt Free
Prof. Georg Gübitz
Austrian Centre of Industrial Biotech

The clothing industry emits 5% of global emissions due to the high resource needs of cotton. Hemp offers a water efficient, pest resistant, and fast-growing alternative, but its stiff as a textile material. The Hempy project uses enzymes to soften hemp and unlock new fabric properties, creating fabric that feels good and does good.

Research
Forge: Metal Sovereignty through Biomining
Dr. Anna Kaksonen
CSIRO

Access to critical minerals now shapes national strength. Export controls, trade frictions, and rising demand for artificial intelligence, electric vehicles, and defense systems strain global supplies. CSIRO’s integrated biomining technology turns electronic waste into a domestic resource. The bioprocess has the potential to decrease energy and chemical use in contrast to traditional recycling methods.
