BASIC PRINCIPLE
We're basically algae farmers with a scientific edge. By leveraging the photosynthesis of algae, we capture carbon much like trees do—but with far greater efficiency. Microalgae can capture carbon up to 100 times faster than trees. Unlike traditional methods, microalgae grow rapidly, thrive in non-arable lands, and require minimal freshwater, often using seawater instead. This makes them both sustainable and versatile. Additionally, microalgae produce valuable by-products like biofuels, animal feed, and bioplastics, contributing to a circular, eco-friendly economy.
What is microalgae?
Microalgae are microscopic organisms found in both freshwater and marine environments. Unlike macroalgae (seaweed, kelp) which are large, microalgae are invisible to the naked eye. They are a diverse group of photosynthetic microorganisms that, like plants, convert sunlight, carbon dioxide, and nutrients into biomass through photosynthesis. Microalgae are an essential part of aquatic ecosystems and are responsible for producing a significant portion of the oxygen we breathe while forming the base of many food chains in aquatic environments.
