Team Carbon Eaters

The industries and energy sector in Finland alone account for 82% of total carbon emissions. To counter this, we have adopted a natural phenomenon, photosynthesis and combined it with simplified technologies with the aim to help industries decrease the CO2 emissions.

Chlorella vulgaris, a species of microalgae utilizes CO2 as food source and is 400 times more effective than an average tree in capturing the CO2.

Our photobioreactor is home to this microalgae species which eats compressed CO2 for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, thereby sequestering CO2 and preventing it from going into the environment.
