Global efforts to combat climate change are kicking into high gear, with countries worldwide rushing to meet lofty net zero goals. 

Nations are doing everything they can to reduce their footprint, like ramping up electric vehicle (EV) production, swapping out coal and natural gas power for solar panels and other renewable sources, reducing waste and replenishing forests by planting trees. Nuclear energy is even making a comeback as a potential savior in the world’s climate crisis.

But, many are overlooking what many experts are calling “the secret weapon to combating climate change.”¹ 

This versatile, naturally occurring organism can soak up significantly more CO2 from the atmosphere than trees or any other plant really. 

We are talking about algae.

Aside from being the most efficient carbon dioxide storage solution, algae can be easily utilized in other sustainable commercial products like high-quality protein for humans and animals, cosmetics, fertilizers, tennis shoes, and steel alternatives. It also provides a renewable feedstock for petroleum derivatives.

Algae grows 10 times quicker than other plants and naturally removes carbon from the atmosphere. Thanks to modern technology, pollution may now be essentially stopped at the source. The CO2 produced is diverted immediately into the tank when a bioreactor is connected to an industrial smokestack, turning the emissions into the growth of algae.

Companies, including big corporations like ExxonMobil, Whole Foods, Unilever and Honda Motors,² are already using algae to produce biofuels, fertilizers and vegan food alternatives, as well as to capture carbon emissions from the atmosphere.

However, current methods of converting CO2 into algae are archaic, expensive, hard to maintain, wasteful, and not scalable. Most require a large pond about the size of a few football fields. And many are located outdoors, meaning algae growth is totally dependent on climate and only occurs on the water surface (is a waste of space). Not to mention, it’s vulnerable to contamination.

Fortunately, one business has created a proprietary system that offers complete control over algae growth, higher yields, 24/7 operation, and far less area than current techniques.

In essence, this business has created a mechanism that successfully closes the carbon loop and turns waste into money.
