Nature's Solution to Climate Change

Synechococcus are photosynthetic bacteria that house the most energy-efficient carbon capture mechanisms on the planet.

Advancing the rate of carbon capture

Applying the power of modern biotechnology, CyanoCapture unlocks the untapped potential of an ancient biological system that can capture CO2 without the need for expensive catalysts or sorbents.

When raw flue gas is bubbled through these containers, CO2 can be quickly absorbed by the organisms and converted into biomass and biological oils. 

The end-to-end process is a thermodynamically favourable method of removing CO2 from the carbon cycle that does not pose a competing threat to the world's electricity supply.

"It's a new technology with the potential to reduce the energy consumption and cost of CO2 capture."

A new class of Photobioreactor design

Inspired by nature. Low-cost, 'plug-and-play' photobioreactor systems that can be rapidly deployed anywhere in the world.

Complete modularisation of CyanoCapture's design allows easy scale-up and scale-down of carbon removal capacity tailored to the need of the emission site.

At the core of CyanoCapture's mission, is the belief that everyone in the world should be able to access clean energy. In order for the 940 million people living today in low-middle income countries without electricity to develop out of poverty, carbon capture must become a readily available tool that is accessible for all emission sites.
