NoPalm Ingredients is a biotechnology company based in Wageningen, Gelderland. It uses a fermentation process with proprietary, non-GMO yeasts and a patented low-capex technology designed to scale quickly, converting locally sourced agri-food side streams such as potato peels and whey permeate into yeast oils and fats. Customers report that these oils can function as direct substitutes for palm oil and as alternatives to other tropical oils, without requiring recipe reformulation and with price parity. The products target food and beauty applications within the broader biotechnology sector, emphasizing circular, waste-to-value production. The technology is associated with environmental benefits, including a 90% reduction in CO2 emissions and a 99% decrease in land use versus traditional palm oil. In April 2026, NoPalm Ingredients B.V was named a finalist for the Curt Bergfors Food Planet Prize.
