Algae can be used to make high strength (~30 MPa) timber with minimal epoxy additives.
Algae as Plant Based Cement
Algae-based concrete is made using limestone generated by algae through photosynthesis.
How Can Algae Help the Environment?
1 kgof Algae can Sequester 2.7 kgCO2
Algae is an Enviromentally Friendly Way to Remove Carbon from the Atmosphere

Traditional portland cement porcesses make large amounts of greenhouse gas
There is a 3.2 MillionHousing Deficit
A large number of homes will have to be built in the next few decades - creating a large market for concrete.
Farming In Abandoned Factories
Using diatoms and a bioreactive farm, we can generate limestone as a byproduct of photosynthesis, as well as use certain species directly as a material.
