A revolution in carbon capture.

Building cities from the sky.

Nature’s solution.

 

Too much carbon in the atmosphere is not a new problem. It’s happened many times before. Nature has developed her own ways of responding to this problem. One of these natural processes is Spirulina and its family of algae.

Able to pull carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere using some pretty advanced biochemistry tricks, the really astonishing thing is what it does with the carbon that it doesn’t need to use for its own growth.

Spirulina can perform a neat little trick called carbon mineralisation. That’s just a scientific way of saying it can turn the carbon dioxide it captures into a kind of rock. We can then take that carbon rich rock and turn it into concrete. This is a carbon negative concrete that has been created from the carbon dioxide in our atmosphere.

We can see a future where our cities are built not from what we have mined from the earth but from carbon that we have pulled from the very air above us.

Concrete is part of the problem.

The carbon rich rock we can grow is normally mined out of the ground and burned to create concrete. Did you know that concrete is responsible for 9.5% of our global greenhouse gas emissions?

A big opportunity.

Our Spirulina’s special trick can prevent the concretes carbon release by providing the carbon rich rock from the atmosphere instead. Other parts of the concrete can be replaced as well. This not only makes the concrete longer lasting and self healing but also allows us to make it carbon negative. This would ensure that the carbon is trapped in there for a very long time. We can store the solution to our problem in the cities of the future.

Support the development.

We are partnering with local Kabi Kabi artists to create one of a kind sculptures formed with this special concrete grown by plants. If you are interested in supporting the development of this revolutionary idea please join our mailing list to learn when this product will be available.
