Rising levels of atmospheric CO2 are driving the rapid heating of our planet. 

Warmer oceans and eutrophication are triggering harmful blooms of Sargassum seaweed in Central America and the Caribbean.

 

Our solution

We turn the problem with invasive Sargassum seaweed in the Caribbean into an opportunity by converting it to renewable biogas and biofertilizer, enabling the sustainable transformation of small island nations’ energy and agricultural systems.

Our biogas abate CO2-emissions in the energy sector by displacing fossil fuels for electricity generation and our biofertilizer reduces eutrophication in agriculture. 

We further mitigate climate change by preventing Sargassum from rotting, which releases methane, an otherwise large contributor to climate change.


Our journey

We have validated our technology in pilot-scale in Grenada, the Caribbean, through research projects with the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm, Sweden. 

Thanks to promising results, we are now going to build a scaled-up facility on the east coast of Grenada to produce biogas (for electricity generation) and biofertilizer from Sargassum in large-scale.
