WHY MICROALGAE?
Phytoplankton
10 to 100 x smaller than a hair one of the first living beings that appeared on earth a few billion years ago
Photosynthesis
Phenomenon by which, with the help of the energy of sunlight, plants capture the carbon necessary for their growth from the atmospheric CO2
in return, they releasse the oxygen that allows us to breathe.
Photosynthetic microalgae grow by capturing the carbon they need from atmospheric CO2
CarbonWorks Matches Nature CarbonWorks captures the CO2 emitted by industry and makes it available to microalgae so that they grow and produce to desired molecule
To adapt to their environment microalgae have learned to develop particular molecules: limestone, silica, lipids, proteins, toxins, etc.
By choosing the right strain of algae, we are able to product in a natural way this or that molecule
In the future, part of the raw materials will be produced via the microalgal CCU
The circular economy of CO2 enables the manufacture of biocomponents which will replace the components of fossil origin
CarbonWorks enables industry to convert its CO2 emissions into
efficient and safe raw materials on a large scale
DECARBONIZATION OF INDUSTTRY AND MICROALGAE
INDUSTRY
3 CHALLENGES
CCU
Carbon Capture and Use
Carbonworks Photobioreactor
MICROALGAE
3 ANSWERS
Capture and enhance the CO2
Microalgae capture and valorize CO2 by photosynthesis
Substitute materials/productsby biocomponents
Microalgae produce natural molecules for the industry and agriculture
Reduce consumption of agricultural land, reduce water consumption, preserve biodiversity
Small land area, low water consumption, no harm to biodiversity
MARKETS
AgTech, Food/Feed
Although its innovations are independent of microalgae strains, CarbonWorks prioritizes its developments for the AgTech, Food and Feed markets.
CarbonWorks is developing partnerships with players in these markets to provide them with the algal biomass and natural molecules they need.
CarbonWorks contributes to solving 3 major challenges:
Although its innovations are independent of microalgae strains, CarbonWorks prioritizes its developments for the AgTech, Food and Feed markets.
CarbonWorks is developing partnerships with players in these markets to provide them with the algal biomass and natural molecules they need.
Decreasing agricultural land per capita, increasing protein consumption per capita, increasing population
Growing public and political awareness of food safety and quality, as well as their environmental impact
Agricultural sector held responsible for 20% of greenhouse gas emissions
CarbonWorks enables industry to develop safe and effective bioproducts on a large scale, and users to reduce their carbon footprint
