Urban-ready carbon capture, built with precision science.
Algaetree™ is a compact, self-sustaining photobioreactor system that uses advanced microalgae cultivation to strip CO₂ and pollutants from the air in real time. It’s designed for dense urban environments where traditional carbon capture is impractical—living biotechnology engineered to work continuously without relying on grid power, while producing measurable environmental gains.
Continuous CO₂ capture, measurable impact.
1) Microalgae: Nature’s Fastest Carbon Capturers
We use a combination of powerful species studied for exceptional CO₂ fixation rates—absorbing 10–50× more CO₂ per m² than terrestrial plants in controlled conditions. They tolerate high CO₂ concentrations (15–20%) and also strip SOx, NOx, and heavy metals, producing clean oxygen and nutrient-rich biomass.
2) A Photobioreactor Designed for Cities
Vertical UV-stable acrylic chambers maximize light and weather resistance. Even light distribution and managed flow cycles keep algae in constant growth. IoT sensors track pH, CO₂ uptake, DO, temperature, and biomass density while external sensors measure AQI, PM2.5, PM10, humidity & temperature 24/7.
3) Self-Sustaining Power & Water
Each pod runs independently—no external power or water. Solar panels power pumps, lighting, and monitoring, with up to 12-hour battery backup. Closed-loop water recycling means minimal water use and zero liquid discharge.
A single 300-litre Algaetree™ pod can:
PM10 reduction up to 70% within a 30-metre radius; oxygen release ranges 2.6–3.0 g per litre per day.
