Lab Grown Technology

Lab Grown Meat

• Cell-cultivated chicken, also known as lab-grown meat, has received approval from the U.S. government for production and sale by two California-based companies.
• This development is seen as a significant step in reducing carbon emissions associated with the global food industry.
• Cell-cultivated meat involves isolating cells that makeup chicken meat and providing them with the necessary resources to grow and multiply in a controlled environment.
• The process takes place in a bioreactor or cultivator. The cells are then processed with additives to enhance texture and appearance before being used in various recipes.

Lab Grown Diamonds

• India is a leading player in growing lab-grown diamonds, with exports reaching over $1.67 billion.
• Lab-grown diamonds offer a more affordable alternative to natural diamonds and are considered eco-friendly.
• They are around 20% cheaper than their naturally-formed equivalent
• India is the largest producer of lab-grown diamonds through CVD technology and contributes to nearly 25% of global LGD production through CVD technology.
• But overall, India accounts for 15% of the global production of LGD.
• World’s first ever Lab Grown Diamond was created at a General Electric Facility(USA) in 1954.
• Two processes are utilized for this :
  • High Pressure High Temperature(HPHT) 
  • Chemical Vapour Deposition 
• CVD technology offers consumers the purest type of diamond. 
• LGDs produced through the HPHT method are grown through a different technique in China and do not have the same hardness as a mined diamond or a CVD-grown diamond and also contain metal impurities.
