Dutch Startup Unveils Facility for Sustainable Palm Oil Alternatives
Ede, Wednesday, 3 September 2025.
NoPalm Ingredients partners with NIZO Food Research in Ede, Netherlands, to produce yeast-derived palm oil alternatives, aiming to cut deforestation and reduce emissions by 90%.
Innovative Collaboration to Combat Deforestation
Dutch startup NoPalm Ingredients is collaborating with NIZO Food Research to launch a demonstration facility at NIZO’s food innovation campus in Ede, Netherlands. This facility aims to scale up the production of yeast-derived palm oil alternatives through fermentation, in response to environmental concerns linked to traditional palm oil production [2][3].
Environmental Impact and Production Scale
The new facility is expected to significantly reduce emissions and land use. NoPalm Ingredients claims that its yeast-derived palm oil alternatives generate 90% fewer emissions and require 99% less land compared to conventional palm oil [2][4]. The facility’s production capacity is projected to reach over 1,200 tonnes annually, with plans for further expansion in 2027 and 2028 [2].
Strategic Partnerships and Market Presence
NoPalm Ingredients has established partnerships with major companies such as Unilever and Colgate Palmolive. The company currently offers two products under its Revóleo brand: Revóleo Soft and Revóleo Silk, catering to both the food and cosmetics industries [2].
Future Prospects and Industry Leadership
The launch of this facility marks a concrete milestone in NoPalm Ingredients’ ambition to lead in the yeast oil production sector. By consolidating all production stages under one roof, the company aims to maintain high standards and secure the supply chain [3]. The factory is also expected to create approximately 25 new jobs, supplementing the existing workforce at NoPalm’s headquarters in Wageningen [3].
