Our Materials

Algae as Plant Based Wood

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 kg of Algae can Sequester 2.7 kg CO2

Algae is an Enviromentally Friendly Way to Remove Carbon from the Atmosphere 

10 lbs of Traditional Portland Cement Produces 9 lbs of CO2

Traditional portland cement porcesses make large amounts of greenhouse gas

There is a 3.2 Million Housing 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.
