We produce algae and convert it into stable biomass. We then bury that biomass, where it remains stable for thousands of years. This removes CO₂ permanently from the atmosphere. In the process we also deacidify vast amounts of seawater, strengthening the local coastal ecosystem.
For eons, these organisms have diligently performed the vital task of carbon sequestration, quietly shaping the world we inhabit today.
Beneficial coastal algae blooms are responsible for 20% of the global carbon cycle and are what make them 10-50x more efficient at CO2 fixation than terrestrial plants per unit area.
