Submission date July 17, 2022 Founders Derrick Dao Development location Calgary, Canada

Detailed project

NB: this form is filled entirely by the ones submitting the innovation.

What is the issue addressed?

Removing carbon from atmosphere, cleaning up harmful algal blooms.

How is the problem solved?

We remove carbon from the air by accelerating the growth of algae, which we then convert into a solid and use for further carbon capture.

What is the customer target?

Companies that need to offset emissions (carbon credit buyers), industrial plants that emit carbon (point source emitters).

How is this solution different?

We use existing infrastructure (minimize capex build out).
